How to stop IE from opening up Office docs inline
The KC on Exchange and Outlook blog has a good tip today. I've paraphrased it below, but you can check her entry for the original.
When you click a link to an Office doc, IE opens the doc in-frame by default. This may be OK for just viewing docs, but it can get annoying because not all features work in this manner.
If you'd rather have IE just open the doc in the appropriate application, use the following instructions:
1. Open Windows Explorer.
2. Go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
3. Select the appropriate file type (e.g., XLS, DOC, PPT), and click Advanced.
4. Clear the "Browse in same window" check box, and OK out of all the dialog boxes.
