Document

Document displays a Microsoft Word document.

In the Document widget, you can open a document file to view its contents.

If your browser has a plug-in for Microsoft Word, the widget displays the content of the file. Currently, only Internet Explorer displays the contents of the file within the widget.
If your browser does not have the plug-in, you can open the file using an application that opens Microsoft Word files or save the file.
If you are not using Internet Explorer, or you do not have the appropriate Microsoft product installed, then the widget will not display the file content correctly.

Wiring the Document widget

If you can edit the page, you can wire the Document widget to other widgets so that it receives and broadcasts events.

About this task

Many widgets create wires automatically when they are added to a page. You can also create wires manually. Manually wiring a widget is a task that requires understanding of how to wire an event broadcast by one widget to an event received by another widget. You might need to create a script to transform the payload content of the broadcast event into a format understood by the receiving event.

For information about how to use the Widget Wiring window to wire this widget, see Wiring widgets.
