Embedded Word.doc test
by subacati
This is a revisit of the "how to blog a .doc" problem first presented by Cois. Although a .doc file can be embedded, it won't be displayed in Operamini. (or any other browser that can't, inherently, display MsWord documents) for the original document, go here.
My solution to this problem was to extract the graphic and the text seperately, then build it into an html file.
However, one problem with this approach is the difficulty of serving it up. My Opera throws up a security prompt when you attempt to access an html file stored in your blog files. To get around this, we will embed this file in this post.
Some problems I have though is that the text flows to different lengths depending on yous browser. I've set the height attribute to 6000 to enable phone users to they the full content. If you're on a pc, chamber are there's a whopping big white space below the content. About half the page should be blank in that case. I can't think of a solution so I'm open to suggestions. If the text is still being cut off for some phone users, it's most likely because your phone uses a lower resolution than mine. Let me know what the last viewable sentence is and I'll make an adjustment. …

Cant see the document…. :left:I have no veiwer for doc files installed :PScreencap:
What a mess….it showed the doc (on pc) and when I clicked the link it opened it up in your post.. never have seen something like that before. Anyway..I have no suggestions and am of no use. Just wanted to say that was weird. :eyes: I am not sure the whole joke was there…I think I will just go to bed now…
Ok:Last veiwable sentence: Can't wait, see you tonight. Regards, David.Folowed by lots of white space.
For some reason it's all jumbled around qlue..:confused:
@ Shaunak It's html, I converted it so you don't need a Word viewer. – ok, that's the correct last sentence so you got everything. (I hope).@ Sarah, I don't have the link to the .doc file here, (I was tired last night) this is the html version. It should work for you but there should be a massive white space under it.@ Cois. Can you tell me in which way it's jumbled? The dates flow in order and everything looks correct on my phone? :confused:.
The problem was that when you embed an html document, you have to specify the height and width parameters. The problem is, Operamini reflows text in a narrower strip to fit the width of your mobile. This increases the height required. But increasing the height parameter causes wider screened devices like a pc to have a large blank space below the post. So its a partial fail both ways. Anyway, another, much simpler, solution exists. :left:.This post refers to an online document viewer that makes it much easier to share a document online. The online resource is at http://view.samurajdata.se/. it coverts .pdf into images and .doc into html automatically. :irked:. So I didn't have to work so hard at it in the first place. :lol:. But at least I learned a thing or two about html. :up:.

Complicated, but it seems to work…! 😉
Oops.. My bad qlue.. It was something else that i got mixed up with as i only read part of the whole thing and then the end :doh: had just too much on my mind
We understand :up:.
