Hi there, Word and other text documents are different from JPEG or GIF or PNG image graphics. They can’t be embedded directly into a web page, they can only be linked from a page. You can link to the document by highlighting the words you’d like it linked from – for example, “Download the document in Word format.” Then, select the link icon in the Visual Editor. Enter the path to the Word document in the little pop-up window – for example, http://jvjones47.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/about-the-existential-approach3.docx.
Visitors will now be able to right-click the link to download the document to their hard drive. Keep in mind that only visitors with recent versions of Word will be able to view a .docx file. You might want to think about converting it to a PDF, which is more widely accessible.
