Hi James, Can you post an example of your actual filepath?
With HTML, the first part of the path to the local disk usually looks like this: "file:///C:/users/pictures/mypicture.png" LC should be able to give you the right full path to a document- but make sure to try using the "file:///" prefix inside the HTML text of the browser widget. I have not tested this, but it has worked for me in the past.
