Is there an option in Web Link to allow for the Office Web Apps Plugin to display office files instead of downloading them?

WebLink does not use the Office integration like Web Access can. The main benefit of that integration is that the Office application can save the document directly back to Web Access without the user having to manually upload the new version. Since WebLink is read-only that isn't something it would allow anyway. With or without the integration the document has to be transmitted to the client machine and opened in the Office application, so I don't see the read-only user experience as being much different. Can you clarify what about the user experience you would want improved?

That was all I needed to know. A prospective client was just inquiring about the ability to view Word documents in the browser in the same way they can with PDF files if that feature is enabled. Thanks!
