Documents opening in IE instead of Word or Excel

Problem
When you click a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) link to a Microsoft Office file
(such as a Microsoft Excel document), Internet Explorer may open the file in Internet
Explorer, instead of opening the file in the appropriate Office program. (This information
was found on Microsoft's web site.)

The reverse of this problem can also occur. Users were opening News, Manuals and
other documents on the Intranet using Word instead of IE. To eliminate the problem
follow the steps below except in step 5 make sure that the Browse in the same window
box is marked.

Cause
This behavior can occur if Internet Explorer is configured to host documents for
Office programs that are installed on the computer. By default, Internet Explorer
is configured to host documents for Office programs.

Resolution
To resolve this issue, follow the steps in the appropriate section to configure Internet
Explorer to open Office files in the appropriate Office program instead of in Internet
Explorer.

Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows 98

NOTE: If you are running Internet Explorer version 3.0, you cannot use the following
procedure to configure Internet Explorer to open Office files in the appropriate
Office program. If you are running Internet Explorer 3.0, upgrade to Internet Explorer
3.02 or later.

To configure Internet Explorer to open Office files in the appropriate Office program
on a computer that is running Windows 95 or Windows 98:

1. Double-click My Computer.

2. On the View menu, click Options (or Folder Options).

3. Click the File Types tab.

4. In the Registered file types list, click the specific Office document type (for
example, Microsoft Excel Worksheet), and then click Edit.

5. In the Edit File Type dialog box, perform one of the following steps, depending
on the version of Internet Explorer that you are running:

If you are running Internet Explorer 3.01, 3.02, or 3.02a: click to clear the Open
Web documents in place check box.

NOTE: The Open Web documents in place check box is not available if you are running
Internet Explorer version 3.0. If you are running Internet Explorer 3.0, upgrade
to Internet Explorer 3.02 or later.
If you are running Internet Explorer 4.0, 4.01, or 5: click to clear the Browse in
same window check box.

6. Click OK.

Microsoft Windows NT

To configure Internet Explorer to open Office files in the appropriate Office program
on a computer that is running Windows NT, you need to edit the registry.

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that
may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that
you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry
Editor at your own risk.

To configure Internet Explorer to open Office files in the appropriate Office program
on a computer that is running Windows NT:

1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).

2. Locate the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes

3. Under this key, locate the subkey for the specific Office document type. The following
table lists the subkeys for several common Office document types.

Document Type Subkey

----------------------------------------------------------------

Microsoft Access 7.0 database application Access.Application.7

Microsoft Access 97 database application Access.Application.8

Microsoft Access 2000 database application Access.Application.9

Microsoft Excel 7.0 worksheet Excel.Sheet.5

Microsoft Excel 97 worksheet Excel.Sheet.8

Microsoft Excel 2000 worksheet Excel.Sheet.8

Microsoft Word 7.0 document Word.Document.6

Microsoft Word 97 document Word.Document.8

Microsoft Word 2000 document Word.Document.8

Microsoft Project 98 project MSProject.Project.8

Microsoft Powerpoint 2000 document PowerPoint.Show.8

To locate the subkey for a document type that is not included in this table, find
the subkey for the extension that is associated with the document type. The (default)
value for that subkey contains the name of the subkey for that document type. For
example, the .xls extension is associated with Excel worksheets. Under the .xls subkey,
the (default) value contains the string "Excel.Sheet.5." Therefore, the subkey for
the Microsoft Excel Worksheet document type is the following subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Excel.Sheet.5

4. After you identify the subkey for the specific Office document type, click the
subkey, click Add Value on the Edit menu, and then add the following value for all
subkeys except Excel.Sheet.8:

Value name: BrowserFlags

Data type: REG_DWORD

Value: 8 For Excel.Sheet.8, add the following value:

Value name: BrowserFlags

Data type: REG_DWORD

Value: 9

5. Click OK, and then quit Registry Editor.
