Word Add in not Activated with document opened in a browser

[Robert Jones]

If my Word document opens in the browser window my add in menu appears but
none of the code is run.

For example the initialisation routine:

Private Sub AddinInstance_OnConnection(ByVal Application As Object, ByVal
ConnectMode As AddInDesignerObjects.ext_ConnectMode, ByVal AddInInst As
Object, custom() As Variant)

doesn't get run from within IE.

If the user has the option to open the Word document in a new window the add
in works correctly.

I have written the add-in in Visual Basic and my version of Word is 2003
SP1.

I should clarify I am talking about a COM addin.
