add media: Word file
1 reply · Started by Anonymous on August 15, 2014
Using Forefront theme. With "add media" I can add a picture file (*.jpg) so that it displays on the page. However, if I try adding a Microsoft Word file (nicely formatted), it only displays as a link. How can I import a Word file so that it displays correctly on the blog page (copy/paste destroys the formatting)
You can't embed a Word document directly into a website (not everyone has Word installed on their computer).
Uploading the file to Google docs then using a plugin like this is your best bet: https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-document-embedder/
