How to Link to a Word File in the Nav Bar

| How I can treat a Word document as just one more web page, putting a
link to it in the middle of the nav bar. If I insert a dummy “story”
page in place of the doc file and afterward modify the link name and
hypertext link to file.doc, the nav bar looks ok, but the link in the
generated html page reverts back to page6.html. Then I have to edit the
nav bar on each page by hand to fix the link to file.doc. Not fun!
What’s the correct way of doing this?
Thanks a lot for your help.

| If you are using the navbar wizard to produce your navbar, then it will
write relative links to your other pages, not to additional files on your
site. You can't change that if you use the wizard.
Write a separate hyperlink to the word file using a textual or graphical
link. I would not recommend trying to include a link to a word file in your
navbar...the viewer will be expecting to go to another webpage, not a word
document. Make it clear that by clicking the link, the user will be getting
a word document.

Shucks.

Sound advice. Thanks, David.
