This should have been posted in alt.html or something like that.

<object></object> inserts an object, such as an image, document, or applet
into the HTML document.
attributes:
codetype= specifies the mimetype for code. for details, see
ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/media-types/ you can probably
ignore this one.
classid="url" identifies the resource to be used for object rendering
codebase="url" identifies the code base or location of programming code for
the object. you can probably ignore this one.
data="url" identifies data for the object. the URL syntax depends on the
object.
declare defines the object withour activating it. use when
cross-referencing to an object later in the same document, or when using an
object parameter in another object.
height="number" some objects can violate this parameter.
width="number" suggested width for the object.
shapes specifies that the object has shaped hyperlinks.
standby=message sets the message to show while loading the object.
tabindex=number specifies the elements navigation order as a positive or
negative integer.
type=mimetype specifies the mimetype. for details, see
ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/media-types/
usemap="url" specifies the imagemap to use with the object.

example:
<object data="file:///C|/myfile.doc" type="application/msword"
style="width:500;height:500;"></object>

I didn't have to specify the width or height. works in IE.
this may or may not work in firefox. you will have to try it. it should
work though.
