I am trying to set up a way to display Word documents in our intranet. We have to set a quick and dirty way to display our Quality Control Documents. We have about 150 .doc files that need to be displayed.

I was trying to use Iframes as a quick way to display word documents and to start I set up a small file to just set up the IFrame and open the document.

Code:
<html>
<iframe src="tfs.doc" width="600px" height="400px" />
</body>
</html>

It sets up a window frame with a bunch of controls. I would like to know if there is a way to limit what controls are set up. It seems to have problems if you change views, such as normal view. The controls go away and I can't do anything with it at that point.

If I close the browser, it then opens up in the view I last set it (in this case, normal view without the controls).

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks,

Tom.
