Nexus or Hotspot to show a Document

I cannot seem to find a way to have a HotSpot or Nexus button display a single document (not a folder) to be opened when clicked. Is this possible?
Thanks.

Ooops... Sorry John, looks like I forgot to reply to your question! :cry:

Anyway, yes, it's perfectly possible, as long as there is a program associated to that document (e.g.; .txt files open automatically with Notepad, etc...).

Not sure why you might be having a problem with this: try dragging a .txt document to a NeXuS dock, then click on it and it should open the document with Notepad.

OK. Thanks. Besides attaching the doc to a Nexus dock, is there a way to attach it to a NS hotspot?

Sure. In the Hotspot action for that hotspot select 'Run Program' instead of 'Open Menu' and then type in the path to the document in question...
