  I am looking for the best way to embed a Word Document into my Cubic Theme post.

  I have the free version or WordPress and am using it as a student, and I was not able to find a way to embed something into my blog. I was only able to create a link that allows you to download it.

  I was able to embed a Google Doc (in my Resume post) however the formatting is terrible.

  Does anyone know how to either embed a Word Doc or fix the formatting of a Google Doc? I would prefer the Word Doc because I am more familiar with that than Google Docs.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi @marissaalln!

  A Word file won’t be directly embeddable, so I was going to suggest a Google Docs embed – but then you already got there!

  If you’d prefer embedding, rather than a download link, Google Docs will be the way to go, once you’d worked on the formatting on the Google side.

  You could also try converting your Word file into a PDF. If you did that, you could use a service like Cloudup.com, and embed from there:
