    I am putting together a “My Work” page where I want people to be able to download Word documents of papers I’ve written. How can I upload/embed the documents into the page, so that visitors to the site will have a link that downloads it to their computer? Thanks for the help.

    You can manually upload it to your server. Then, just create a link in your page that points to the file. It will open a download overlay… where the file can be downloaded.

    Or, you could use an image… like an word doc icon… and then wrap the image with a link… pointing to the download page.

    1. Upload word doc image to server (mysite.com/images/word_doc.png).

    2. Upload your actual document to your server (mysite.com/docs/word_doc_1.docx).

    3. Now, use an image tag and a link tag to link to the content. This would work using the above paths:

    <a href="http://mysite.com/docs/word_doc_1.docx">
   <img src="http://mysite.com/imamges/word_doc.png" />
</a>

    Lemme know if you still have any questions.
