Displaying MS Excel and Word Documents in Web Content Viewer

2007-03-29, 7:20 pm

Hi,

I am trying to use a WCM navigator component to pull data from my site area hierarchy and render it using a presentation template. This model works just fine for PDF using the "EMBED" tag. However, using the same tag with a Microsoft Excel or Wo
rd does not produce the wanted result: nothing renders in the page and no errors in the log file. Here is the tag I am using:

<EMBED SRC='<Element context="current" type="content" key="ExcelFileName"/>' WIDTH='750' HEIGHT='500' type='application/msexcel'/>

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
