Hi,

When dragging an office document into a container, and then trying to open it - it opens a very very small box inside FM and you absulutly see nothing and you have to press escape to exit that mode.

why is that? my users are used to dragging files and i don't want to change that.

How can these office docs open normally?

anyone??

Instead of using the left mouse button to drag to the document, try using the right mouse button. I tried it using a WordPerfect document and the right mouse button made a big difference.

Hi :)

Well....is there a way to make it open automatically instead of editing mode?

many users wont know how to handle it... I prefer to make a script to open the content all the time...
