Viewing Word/PDF/Other in Master Pages (or ASP.NET at all)

[Guest]

Hello All,

This is a newbie follow-up to my previous newbie question....

Is there a way to view a Word document (or a PDF, or a text file, or any
other file) as content for a Master Page?

Previously, I had an HTML file that used frames, with a "table of contents"
in the left frame, and the Word document in the target frame. This was as
simple as making the Word document a link:
<a href="TheWordDoc.doc" target="thedocframe">My Document</a>

Thanks,
PAGates

You can stick an iframe in a content page and load a PDF file into it, it
will retain the master page branding

Any iFrame example should work as content for a master page content area

This will explain how iframes work if your usnsure and it mentions the use
of PDF's
