Adding Microsoft Word and Excel documents to a
website
With Contribute you can easily add Word and Excel documents or content from those documents to your website
or blog entry.
For example, suppose you have a Word table that contains contact information for all of your sales representatives
in North America. You don't have to recreate the table on your web page—you can use Contribute to add it to your
website.
There are four ways to add Word or Excel content to a web page or blog entry:
• Add the contents of a Word or Excel document to a new or existing web page or blog entry (Windows only).
• Insert a link to a Word or Excel document on an existing web page or blog entry.
• Convert the document to a PDF, and insert a link to the document in an existing web page or blog entry.
• Convert the document to a PDF, and insert the document as an embedded object in an existing web page or blog
entry.
In Windows, you can set a user preference so that when you add a Word or Excel document Contribute always adds
the contents of the document as an embedded object or inserts a link to the document..
You can add the contents of a Word and Excel document to the Contribute editor directly from Microsoft Office
applications. For more information, see "Opening documents in Contribute from Microsoft Office applications
(Windows only)" on page 75.
Adding Microsoft Word or Excel content to a page (Windows only)
You can add the contents of a Word or Excel document to a new or existing web page or blog entry.
When you add content to a page, Contribute converts it to HTML and copies it to your web page or blog entry. You
can then edit the content in Contribute; changes you make to the original file on your computer do not appear on
your website or blog entry.
