Need help.
I have been trying to have a pdf open automatically (when someone goes to our WEB site) in a specific spot on our front page. I would like the document to just be there whenever anyone goes to our site.
I can put an object on the front page and then create a link to the pdf, but you still have to click on the object to open the document. How do I get it to open automatically? And also be within the page confines?

PS...It doesn't have to be a pdf. Any kind of "document". I can inset images just fine, but I can't insert a document. I just want to be able to post our club news letter on the front page and have it there without having to click anything.

You can have them open in an iframe.

here is what it will look like http://www.wbprints.com/planroom/planroom_011.htm
this is done with an iframe with targets, because I have multiple things opening in that iframe but it will look the same for 1 pdf if you use the object. for that you can insert>object>object>advanced >embed document then do the link file name will be /www.yoursite.com/whatever.pdf that works pretty much like an iframe.

I did it here... http://davidrosso.com/photos/ohiocaverns/index.html

But I actually can't remember how I did it, pretty sure I made that page using frontpage and now WE, but if you check out my source code maybe it can be done the same way in WE, I'll have to try it later.
