Add 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.

If the document you are converting to HTML is larger than 300KB, Contribute notifies you that the file is too large to convert and gives you other options for inserting the document, such as converting the document to a PDF document or inserting a link to the document. For information about these options, see Insert Office documents as PDFs in Contribute pages (Windows only) and Insert a link to a Microsoft Word or Excel document.

1. In your draft, place the insertion point where you want the content to appear.

2. Do one of the following to select the file with the content you want to insert:

   • In Contribute:

     1. Select Insert > Microsoft Office Document.

        The Open dialog box appears.

     2. Select the required Microsoft Office document, and click Open.

   • (Windows only) From Windows Explorer, drag the file from its current location to the Contribute draft where you want the content to appear.

3. In the Insert Microsoft Office Document dialog box, click Insert The Contents Of The Document Into This Page, and then click OK.

4. (Optional) Select the Remember This Setting And Don't Ask Again check box if you do not want to be asked about the insert option in the future.

   You can also set these preferences from the Edit menu in Contribute. To do this, select Edit > Preferences > Microsoft Documents and set the desired preferences. For more information on setting these preferences, see Set Contribute preferences.

5. Click OK.

   The contents of the Word or Excel document appear in your draft.
