Insert docx text files onto my blog page

  • Unknown's avatar

    Tell me how to insert docx text files from my computer onto my blog posting? When I use the Add Media function, select the file and place it in my Media Library, after I push Insert only the file name appears on the dashboard preview and not the actual text from the file.

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

  • Hi there,

    What you’re describing is how adding document files work – it places a downloadable link to the file in the media library on your site. Nothing more.

    What you want is called embedding a document on your page – that’s something different from inserting an uploaded file.

    To embed a Word document you can either use the Microsoft Onedrive web app, or you can upload the doc to Google Drive and convert it into a Google Doc which you can then embed on your site:

    Embed From Google Docs
