Attaching Word 2007 documents

[EnthoK]

How can I attach a Word 2007 document (a form to be filled out) in a Robo 9 topic?  (I don't want to import and turn the form into topics.)

Just taking a guess here - attach the doc as a baggage file and then make either a link in a topic to it or create an IFRAME within a topic & reference it in there

I used to import documents as baggage files in earlier versions of Robo.  I'll try it, thanks.

I seem to remember having to toggle the Project View to be able to see the tree structure that said Baggage Files

[EnthoK]

Yes, I did have to do that to see the Baggage Files folder in the Project View.  I added the Word doc to this folder and then was able to drag and drop it into the topic, where it became a hyperlink.  Then I cut and pasted the link into my dropdown text.  It worked--thanks!!

good to hear - I was just taking a shot in the dark ;>)

Have you tested that the user can fill in the form and keep it or send it to you, according to what is required?
