Hello! I'm trying to create a link to a "read-only word document" from my website.

<A HREF="C:\User Guide.doc" target="_new">User Guide</A>

When I try to use this link, the word document opens but if I click on the table of contents, the document gives me a prompt saying the document has been modified and asks me if i wanna save the changes.

How do I make it not prompt for anyting? I already put the property of the document to read-only but it's still asking me to save.

Please help. Thanks!
 
If you want a "read-only" document, you might be better served to make it a .PDF file. Or you could perhaps lock the Word doc, though I'm not sure if that would eliminate your problem...
