OFF97: Show Office Toolbars Button May Not Be Available

MORE INFORMATION

The "Show Office Toolbars" button appears on the toolbar in Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 when you open a document that belongs to a Microsoft Office 97 program, such as Microsoft Excel 97.

When you open a Microsoft Office document in Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0, the following events occur:

1. The document is opened and displayed.
2. The Microsoft Office program's menus are displayed.
3. Toolbars that are both undocked and visible are displayed.

NOTE: Toolbars that are both docked and visible are NOT automatically displayed. To display such toolbars, click the "Show Office Toolbars" button. If you want to hide the docked and visible toolbars again, click the "Hide Office Toolbars" button.

If you open an HTML document that contains a Microsoft Office document embedded within an <IFRAME> tag, the "Show Office Toolbars" button will not appear on the toolbar.

Here is an example of an HTML document that contains an embedded Microsoft Office document:

   <HTML>
   <BODY>
   <IFRAME SRC="http://myserver/myfile.xls" WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=400>
   </IFRAME>
   </BODY>
   </HTML>
				

The <IFRAME> tag creates a floating frame that contains the specified Microsoft Office document.

If you open this HTML document, the Microsoft Excel workbook appears, but the "Show Office Toolbars" button does not.
