Add PDF/Office Document

PDF documents are an extremely convenient method of providing official forms, documents, or information to your users because they are easy to update and easy to maintain. Any document created in Microsoft Word or another text editor can be turned into a PDF document (contact IT to do this for you).

There may be occasions when you need to include links to Microsoft Word, Excel or Powerpoint documents. Please be aware that Microsoft office is not available to all web users.

To add a document:

1. Type or highlight the text you wish to use as the link to the document.
2. Click on the “Link” icon.
3. From the drop-down list, click on “File On My Computer”
4. Click on “Browse” and select the updated PDF document on your computer
5. Click “OK”
6. Click “Publish” to finish editing. Contribute will move a copy of the file to the web server and place it a folder named "documents" within the same folder of that html page.
