word resize problem in frameset

I am not sure if this is the correct way to go about it but I would like to re-awaken the thread in the link below:

http://www.webforumz.com/dotnet-fram...n-frameset.htm

I know that the problem does not exist using Word 2007 and IE 7, but upgrading is not an option at this point. Is there a work arround when using an earlier version of word. I am testing using Word 2003, and IE 7.

To Sum up the thread:

Quote:

If
you load a word document into a frame, this frame then can not be resized,
but if you load other office documents it works just fine.

The response:

Quote:

I've done some test on my side using Word 2007 and
IE7: it seems the frame is resizing correctly:

<html>

<head>
<title>Untitled 1</title>
</head>

<frameset cols="150,*">
<frame name="contents" target="main" src="left.htm">
<frame name="main" src="test.doc" scrolling="auto">
<noframes>
<body>

<p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</p>

</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>

</html>

I have taken the html posted and tested it with word 2003 and it has the resizing issue. Any help would be appricated.

Can you post a link to this page so we can see the resizing?

There is no public page that I am aware of. I just used notepad, pasted in the html that I quoted above, created a Word document named "test.doc", and created a html file called left.htm. All of these files were on my desktop. I open the html page with the frames in it and they do not resize. If I have another html page loaded into the right frame instead of the word document, the frames resize correctly.

Is this what you're looking for?

<frameset cols="150,*">
<frame name="contents" target="main" src="left.htm">
<frame name="main" src="test.doc" scrolling="auto" width=# height=#>
<noframes>
<body>

<p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</p>

</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>

What is the purpose of this frame? What are you trying to do? Could it be done more easily using a different method?

What I am doing is I am opening up a document in one frame and opening up a web form above that document in a different frame. I can't very well post the code because it is part of a full application. The method that is used with the frames works to open PDF files, Excel files, etc. and all of them resize correctly.

Try this: replace

<frame name="main" src="test.doc" scrolling="auto">

with

<frame name="main" src="test.pdf" scrolling="auto">

(and create the test.pdf in the same folder)

and you will see what I mean. When the pdf is loaded in the frame resizing works. When the word document is loaded into the frame resizing the frame does not work.
