Put a Word file on your blog

Putting the contents of a Word file on your blog is relatively easy.

All you do is go to Google docs. http://docs.google.com/

Select UPLOAD
Select BROWSE
Find the final you want to upload
Give it a name you can remember. No one else will be able to see it.
Select UPLOAD FILE

You should now be able to see and edit your text. It's not on your blog yet.
In the upper right corner, select PUBLISH
Now you have a choice of where to publish it. Choose the second option, which is to post it to your blog.

You, and everyone else, can now look at your blog and see the text from the Word file. If you can't see it, press F5 to refresh the screen.

If you still can't see it and you think I might have left out a step, please let me know by leaving me a comment.


You can edit the text two different ways.
1. From your blog.
When you edit it here, you aren't editing the original document but you are able to post the updates immediately. Probably very handy in those emergency situations when you have to change it RIGHT NOW before someone sees it.

2. From the Word file.
This is just like any other time you are updating the Word file. To get the changes to show up on your blog you need to upload it again. It's really easy but it is another step and you have to refresh your blog to confirm the updates are there.

You can also upload Excel and PowerPoint files. I haven't tried to do that yet but I would imagine it's very similar.
