attachments/media don't appear or function
-
Hi
When i attach files .doc and .ppt they don’t appear when I select them and attach them to posts using the ‘add media’ function. Tried deleting the attachments, and re-attaching. Is there another way of doing it??Is it the theme I am using?
Cheers,

Hello there,
Are you using this process?Add Media (PDF, Microsoft Word document, etc.). This icon will allow you to insert a download link to a document or file. If you wish to embed the actual document/file into the post/page content, you can use Scribd. http://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/media-icons/
If so the, how are you connecting to the internet and to WordPress.com? The way you connect to the internet (mobile, satellite, DSL, dial-up) and to your blog, and how many proxy server jumps etc. it takes to connect can cause problems. There maybe be problems with your ISP and/or with the proxy servers.

You mean you only get a link for them instead of the actual document. WP cannot display such file types directly. You need to upload them to Scribd then embed the Scribd doc you’ll get.
