Completing the Insert Microsoft Office Document dialog box (Windows only)

The Insert Microsoft Office Document dialog box appears when you perform the following tasks:

  • From a Microsoft Office application (Word or Excel), you choose to open a document in Contribute.

  • Insert a Microsoft Office document (Word or Excel) in Contribute.

  • Drag a Microsoft Office document (Word or Excel) to your draft in the Contribute editor.

You can insert the content into your draft, or you can create a link to the document. You can also convert the document to a PDF and insert a link to the PDF, or insert the PDF as an object in your draft.

  1. Select from the following options:

    • Select Insert The Contents Of The Document Into This Page to insert the contents of the document.

    • Select Create A Link To The Office Document to create a link to this document.

    • Select Convert To PDF And Create A Link To The PDF to convert the selected document into a PDF, and insert a link to the PDF document.

    • Select Convert To PDF And Embed The PDF As Object to convert the selected document into a PDF, and embed the PDF document as an object.

    If the document you want to insert is larger than 300KB, Contribute displays an alert that the document is too large to insert and gives other options for adding it to your website.

    Note: When you insert a link, the link text is the name of the file you link to. To change link text after you create the link, see Change link text and destination. Also, when you publish the draft, Contribute copies the document to your draft and then links to that copy, not to the original file.
  2. Select Remember This Setting And Don’t Ask Again to have Contribute remember your preference.

  3. Click OK.

    The content or a link to the content appears in your draft.
