Help a web site noob?

[gaelan]

I'm using RapidWeaver to do a simple site. All is good so far...got some graphics, photos, words, but now I am trying to link to a word document with some info. Not having much luck. What is the proper way to do this?

I am using my .mac trial to host the site. Thanks for any help.

Should just be <a href="path/to/file/theFile.doc">Download my cool file</a> type of thing. Unless I misread something.

you can do it as posted above, but then again I agree to : Why?
Jus put all the info in the word file on your webpage.. unless its too much info for the small page you have

File > Print

PDF > Save as PDF


This way the file is instantly available to a wider audience who can view it in their web browser. Many users will have to open a new app just to see the word document, which is a hassle.

The better solution would just be to create a page with same info as the word document.
