Subject:Is there a viewer for .doc files on Solaris? From:Hareesh Kumar K N <hari -at- CISCO -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 26 Nov 1997 15:24:18 +0500
Hi,
We need to view a few .doc files on Solaris.
We tried importing these documents into FrameMaker, but it's not working
fine. While the text is coming out pretty OK, the graphics are not being
reproduced at all. In place of graphics, we get some blank area scattered
with the text used in graphics.
In the case of single page documents, the File->Import->Object option is
working fine. But for multi-page documents, this does not seem to be working.
Is there a way out? Or, is there a viewer available on Solaris to view .doc
files?
I hope someone on the list has an answer for me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Hari
