I have a question. I hope someone has an answer. I am designing a catalog system and would like hypercard to open word documents (or any other app.) i.e. when a user clicks on a button representing an abstract it would open in word o r a diagram icon would open a flowchart in inspiration etc.. I run the stack (under multifinder) and when word is not currently running it w orks okay, but as soon as word is already open all that happens is I switch to word, the document doesn't open. Is this a bug, a non-existent feature, or what ? Is there a workaround ? I don't want to have to run under the finder. I'd also like to have multiple documents open at once (maybe from different apps.) Thanks, Mark Rosenberg Michigan State University
