InterFord is my site, I just uploaded it there to show you how it works

You can't use Turbosport because it is not a picture file, you need to upload it to webspace using FTP. If you don't have access to any webspace, email the document to me and I'll host it somewhere for you and send you back the URL to use.

Cheers

upload it to the web somewhere, then put a hyperlink in the post, using the format:

{url}http://www.interford.co.uk/test.doc{/url} ; or
{url=http://www.interford.co.uk/test.doc}Stick some text here{/url}
, replacing the {} with []

so the first example looks like this:

http://www.interford.co.uk/test.doc

and the second like this:
Stick some text here

Your readers click the link and will get the option to Open/Run from current location (depending on OS) or Save the file to their PC. Either option will allow them to open the document and print it.

If you do not want them to be able to edit your document, password protect it as a form (Tools > Protect)


HTH

Edit - got me \ and / confused
