Hi

We are running Sharepoint 2007 (MOSS) on our internal server. We have created a wiki and want to add a Page Viewer web part so that we can link to documents on our network shared drive. When i test the Page Viewer I can see external web pages (when I select 'web page') in the viewer however when I select the 'file' option and provide the pathway to a document on our network shared drive the viewer expands but I cannot see any text.

My questions are:

1. In order to open a document in page viewer does the document need to be in a Sharepoint document library or can I link to a document on my network shared drive?

2. If I can link to a doc on my network shared drive can anyone explain why I cannot view it in the web part and suggest what I need to do to be able to do this.

Many thanks for your help.
