Inserting Word Documents

Tessa · 03-29-2004, 02:40 AM

I am designing a website for a restaurant and would like to insert their menus. They were given to me as 3 word documents. Can I insert the word documents instead of displaying the menus on the webpage?

dont quote on me this but the only way i can think of doing it is linking to it unless frontpage extention supports it...but i doubt it

but id imagine your users would have trouble reading the menu if they didnt have word installed or a sufficent package to read .doc documents

You can just upload and link to them, but most web surfers don't like downloading those types of files. I'd recommend converting them to .pdf files and then supplying those on your site.

Thanks for the feedback. What would I need to convert a word doc into a .pdf?

I assume you'd prefer the FREE way?
