How can you embed a Laserfiche document link to another document in Word (2007)

Laserfiche Records Management Version 8 Integrations

asked on March 7, 2014

I want to embed links to other Laserfiche documents from within a Word 2007 document so they open immediately when clicked. Can this be done? This will be for internal use only. I have tried creating a weburl link to the document but it opens a browser and asks for credentials. I have tried dragging the document shortcut (.lfe) file into the Word doc but it crashes word.

Thanks Franz! We have already configured WebDAV as a potential feature, but found it not able to do everything we want or the limitations of it are too limiting, so most staff systems are not configured to use it. I will give it a try and let you know how it works. Thanks for the suggestion.

Tony,

You should be able to do this using the WebDAV feature in Laserfiche. With WebDAV enabled, users can access the Laserfiche repository as they would any file share. Once enabled, a user would use the Word hyperlinking feature to browse out to the Laserfiche repository and select they document they want to link to.

Setting up WebDAV can be a little complex, and it's due to limitations with the WebDAV protocol (out of Laserfiche's control) we don't enable it by default unless specifically required.

If you need assistance, just give us a call.
