Add 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 documenting 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. For more information, see Setting editing preferences.

    You can add the contents of a Word and Excel document to the Contribute editor directly from Microsoft Office applications. For more information, see Open documents in Contribute from Microsoft Office applications (Windows only).
