It can't be opened in Word. Javascript can't do that. But select-all and copy to clipboard is possible with Javascript.

No, no, you don't get what I said. Javascript can select all, it can copy, and it can paste. But it cannot open Microsoft Word.

Well you could select all, copy, and then use window.location="somewordfile.wrd" to open Microsoft Word in the browser window. Then you'd have to tell the users to press CTRL + V to paste.

Here goes...

<html><head><script>
function copy() {
holdtext=document.frm1.holdtext;
holdtext.innerText = document.body.innerText;
//holdtext.innerText = disp.innerText;
Copied = holdtext.createTextRange();
Copied.execCommand("RemoveFormat");
Copied.execCommand("Copy"); }

function openWord(){location="somewrdfile.wrd"}
</script></head><body>
<form name="frm1"><textarea name="holdtext" style="visibility:hidden"></textarea></form>
<input type=button onclick="copy();openWord()" value="Do all functions"><br>
<br>blahblah hahahah something text here hahaha whatever
</body></html>

Make sure you change somewrdfile.wrd to whatever your word file is.

JavaScript cannot create a new file. That is why I suggest that your already-created .wrd file is empty, or it tells the user to paste.

im so sorry to be bothering you, if i want to open an exe file it can be possible?? instead of the file of word just open an .exe file

You can do that. But it will try to download it. But if you know the exact folder that the .exe file is in on their computer then you can use the FileSystemObject to open it... I think... It's a long procedure and not worth the time, though.

You can't use JavaScript to do it. Period. Ok?

you can do it easy:

just open a window with the following URL:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Shortcut Bar\Office\Microsoft Word.lnk"

just change location to be location="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Shortcut Bar\Office\Microsoft Word.lnk"

this location is the same for any person who has installed Office 2000
