Work on Files in Your Browser!
Do you cruise the Web to get information you need for your work? With Internet Explorer, you no longer need to open a separate word-processing or spreadsheet program in order to incorporate the information you find. Instead, you can open the document you're working on right in Internet Explorer. Then you can update a chart with the latest statistics, or add a quote to a press releasewithout leaving the Web. This feature is great for intranets, too, because you don't have to convert a document to HTML in order for other people to read it.
Before you open a document created in another program, you need to download its viewer (see Internet Extras). Or, if you have the application installed on your hard disk, you can start trying out ActiveX Documents right away.
You're not getting the most out of this page unless you're running Internet Explorer 3.0.

How to Open an ActiveX Document
You can open documents in Internet Explorer that were created in other programs if:
- The program in which the document was created is registered in Windows as an ActiveX Document.
- You've downloaded the viewer for that program, or you have the program installed on your hard disk.

If you've installed the Microsoft Word viewer, or if Microsoft Word is installed on your computer, open a .doc file inside your browser (on the File menu, click Open). Notice that all of the program's toolbars and menus have been added to Internet Explorer and that you can edit the document normally.
