Inserting a document (from a website hyperlink)

MrWord · #1 09-16-2011, 06:54 AM

Hi there,

Does anyone know if it is possible to insert a document that is stored on a website?

Essentially I would like to know if it is possible to manipulate the "insert file" function to insert a file that is stored on a web address (hyperlink) instead of inserting a file from the hardrive.

Please note that I do not want to put a hyperlink in the document, I would like the text to be insert into the document.

If anyone can help I'd be very grateful

Many thanks,

Philip

Could ya give me a real example or the document link ya want to do?
I could rarely understand what you meant without an example.

Hi Philip,

Try something along the lines of:

Code:

Sub OpenWebDoc()
ActiveDocument.FollowHyperlink Address:="https://www.msofficeforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1932&d=1328652267", _
    NewWindow:=False, AddHistory:=False
End Sub

For more info, see the vba help for the 'FollowHyperlink' method. The above will open a safe document attached to a post in another thread in this forum.
