Using non-Internet files in the browser window from the
Address Bar ![](/file/20703/netCD48.iso/mac/net/Feature/web/IFace/TB07B.gif) ![Click here to see a ScreenCam movie about accessing local folders and documents from the Address Bar.](/file/20703/netCD48.iso/mac/net/Feature/web/showme.gif) You're not limited to
typing the names of Web sites and local disk folders into the Address Bar.
You can even type in the name of a document file - if its
application can act as an OLE server (for example, if it's a .doc file associated with
Microsoft Word), then it will be opened in a browser window with its creating
application's menus and toolbars present.
You
can then browse your way between the document, your local filing system and the Internet,
all in a single browse window.
If you type the name of a document whose controlling application
can't act as an OLE server into the Address Bar, then the application is launched in
free-standing mode (i.e. not taking over the browser window).
