| Are you wanting to just add a hyper link? If so, load the file on your
server. You do this by
opening either your ftp server or http sever and copy the file from it's
current location and past it on the server. once on the server when you
click on it it should give you the full url usually your websitename.com/your
file.
Highlight the full url with the attachment name and right click and choose
copy.
Now create your text link like "Click here for our membership directory"
highlight the entire thing right click and select hyperlink.
Select existing website. Once it loads press shift insert. It should paste
it right in the box.
If you want to embed the file on your existing webpage open your Publisher
file, go to Insert Object and it will say create from file, once checked a
browse button will appear. find your file and it will put it right on top of
the page.
Hope that helps

| After I just posted that I tried adding a word doc to the server and when I
hit the link it's blank. It has worked for pdfs. I have no idea why it
wouldn't work for word. Which means it probably won't work for excel either.
I have another solution. Put it on a free hosting site like www.ripway.com.

| Ok here's another tip make sure you have the exact url no extra spaces. It
works but that url with attachment have to be exact. I fixed it and as soon
as I did the link promted me to download the file so it worked.
