While it sacrifices interactivity, it's the easiest way for us to make sure that the page displays just as you saw it. Hi Allan -

I became interested when I wanted to embed a Google Document in a web page. The idea was to allow people to add their own events to a weekly schedule which would be up-to-date always on the web site. I wanted the document to be printable. I could embed a Google spreadsheet - but this lost some formatting... primarily hyperlinks would not work unless they were in separate cells... and Google do not currently have a facility to embed a Document.... Uploaded the file to embedit and the document was reproduced on a web page... but.... The document cannot be printed in its entirety and hyperlinks in the document still do not work. Promising... but still not quite allowing me to achieve what I want to achieve. Any ideas how I might achieve an embedded Google doc that has hyperlinks and can be printed? Hi,

Any ideas how I might achieve an embedded Google doc that has hyperlinks and can be printed?

I've used Embedit and think it's one of the greatest tools to help me with my work and write an educational blog for Hungarians. I experienced the same problem, however: with IE, iT's just blank (with Mozilla it works wonderfully but unfortunately, most of my readers use IE). Any ideas, suggestions? Tnaks a lot - and congratulations on this great tool again!! Tibor Second that!

It's great! Only one drawback, I've been told by friends (using IE7) that they cannot see any of the embedded media. I don't know whether this is an issue with their machines, or IE7, or the embeditin files. I’ve just been told about this and tried it. It’s great!

I'd like to blog about it. However, I can't get it to work. I've tried various browsers and computers today, but the application doesn't appear to ever fully load what I'm trying to embed -- I've tried both urls and documents from my computer. Are you having some technical difficulties today? Or do you have some other advice? Larry Ferlazzo I think it’s a great idea, and I also like Backboard, your other product. I’d like to blog about it.
