activateInPlace

Controls whether the document is displayed in the browser window, or whether it is opened in a separate window in the Office application linked to the document type. For instance, if you have assigned value false to property activateInPlace, and value ms_word to property documentType, Microsoft Word opens and displays the content in the user interface of Microsoft Word. The default value for this property is true.

If you have assigned value false to this property, you should assign small values to the height and width properties, because these values are not ignored, and act as placeholders in the Web Dynpro application view. The UI element takes up as much empty space in the view, as you specified for the height and width values. You should therefore overwrite the default values 300 with a smaller value, such as 5. If you have assigned value true to this property, you should use values to display the document that make the document readable, and do not necessitate too much scrolling, since users cannot enlarge the document in the browser window at runtime.
