open file/url in Captivate 2

Hi There,

I too have been looking all over the forums for a solution to this, but can't find one. I am using Captivate 2, publishing to the web and trying to open a Word document with no success. I can link to and open websites, but not Windows App docs. What am I missing?

Do I need to use javascript to do this?

Perhaps a solution is in the "Proper Way to call JavaScript Function"
thread, just above/below this post?
