Eagle101 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 OK, so I have Safari 4 on my SL Mackbook Pro. How do I configure Safari so when I click on a .DOC or .PTT or some kind of file on the internet, I want to only VIEW it, and NOT download it into my DOWNLOADS folder. Please someone help me. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattrobs Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 You can't. There's no viewer plugin for Word or Powerpoint files. Edit: Wait, yes there is. You could Quick Look them from your Downloads folder instead of waiting for Word to load. You could also get them to open in Pages and Keynote, which both take significantly short times to load.

Eagle101 Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 I was thinking more of a dialog that asks me if i wanted to open the file, or save it.... easy as that. possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattrobs Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I was thinking more of a dialog that asks me if i wanted to open the file If you want to open the file with Word anyway, why not just click on it when it's in the Downloads folder?

Fusion Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I was thinking more of a dialog that asks me if i wanted to open the file, or save it....easy as that. possible? That's a feature of Windows where it does download the file but to a hidden location that you aren't aware of and then opens it. It then presumably deletes it after you close the program. That feature is not available on Safari. Firefox I believe has something similar however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
