I want to an option where my customers can download a PDF file or a MS Word doc. from my web site.
What are the most important steps?
and how can I accomplish this?

For either document type:

1. Import document into your current open FP web.
2. Insert text or image on your page, then right click and hyperlink the
text or image to the document.
3. If the user has Word or Adobe Reader install, then the document will
download and open in their browser or reader.
4. If you want document to always be downloaded, then it must be in a zip
file format.
5. You can also give the user a choice by placing a note next to the link
tell them to right click to save the document or double click to view the
document.

Open your Web
Go to File > Import
Click Add File > Locate your PDF or Word Document.
Click OK

You can now just create a link to it on any page you wish.

A form button requires an action be specified.

If you wish to use a button for a link, it would be much
easier for you to create one in a graphics program. Then
insert it on your page and set the link to the PDF / Doc
file.

Once you have it created, you can then paste it
throughout your site.

file.

Even if I dont link this PDF to a button, it still wont work. Just by adding text and then I link the file to the text.
I get this message
