Hi Sravanthi,

Using content management create a folder and upload your word document.

copy the the path of the word document which u have uploaded.

And now goto content admin & in the portal content create an iview by choosing the template as

KM DOCUMENT IVIEW & after creating the iview goto iview properties in that u could find a property

by name PATH TO DOCUMENT: for this propety paste the path of your word document

Note: u can get the address of ur word document by : when u open ur document which was uploaded in ur folder in the address space u could get like

for ex:http://<host>:<portnumber>/irj/go/km/docs/documents/Public%20Documents/til/sites.doc

just copy and paste the bold path

Thanks for the info Tilak, but Iam not getting the document displayed.

Have used the path "documents/<testfolder>/<Final.doc>"

its giving error as "404 The requested resource is not available".

Is it some issues with the path Iam giving to the iView?

Hi Sravanthi,

Do one thing navigate to the file where u have created and see the preview of that document. Then in the browser you can see the exact path, Copy it from /documents/.......... and paste it in the iView property of doucment path.

Hey make use of a "IFRAME" UI ELEMENT in your application and provide the mandatory property (source of the document) to the IFRAME.Then you can display a word document in the view itself.

Hi,

There is one simple way to view the word document in the Portal iView.

Create a folder in the Portal system with HTTP destination and place the document in the folder.

Now the folder can be accessed via URL and now create an URL iView for that link.

Now you will be able to view the word document.

Hope this is helpful for you.

regards,

Vivek.

I think you doing small mistake in giving the path.....

suppose u have stored you document abc.doc in /documents/xyz folder then give path as

/documents/xyz/abc.doc

suppose u r file consists of blank space i,e abc def.doc

/documents/HomePage/abc%20def.doc [for space mention %20 ]

Hi,

if you have "content manager" role, you can go to content management tab,

Create your own Folder, then there's an option to upload File.

Thanks
