MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / March 2008Help with Download Folder
How do you attach a file to be downloaded by a viewer to your website, using Publisher 2007 Here's how I make files available for downloading from my website. Say you have a recipe for Biscotti Cookies you want to share with the visitors of your website. On the website server create a folder, i.e., downloads Give the recipe file the name, biscotti.pdf (if the file isn't in pdf format, make it a pdf file) Upload biscotti.pdf into the downloads folder. Now edit your website by adding a phrase or an image or both. (Maybe an image of some Biscotti Cookies) Put the phrase, To get the recipe for MaMa Ravioli's Old Country Biscotti Cookies, click here. With the mouse, gather the word here Now select Insert, Hyperlink In the box put /downloads/biscotti.pdf Save your website, upload the new files to the server. Now visit your website and you will notice the word here is underlined indicating it is a link. Click on here and your recipe will popup on the screen which you or any visitor can save to their computer. Note: There is a new version 4 of primo.pdf now available at www.primopdf.com  SignatureDon Vancouver, USA > How do you attach a file to be downloaded by a viewer to your website, > using Publisher 2007 The materials I have that I want my clients to download are from jpeg, mpeg and powerpoint presentations, will your system work with the files I just mentioned.

Simply create a link to it - the browser will ask what to do with it if it doesn't know. Another way to skin this cat is to put all the downloadable file in a directory such as /downloads and then create a link to /downloads. If there is no index or home page, the visitor will get a directory listing.
