Inserting graphics to a web page

[Gerry Goldberg]

I am implementing my first web site and am having trouble inserting graphics
into my web pages. Files like .bmp and .jpg and .gif seem to work easily but
pdf files and Word files do not. I am using Frontpage 2000. How can I
insert these files? Cut and paste? Insert? And, is it possible to convert
..pdf and .doc files to these more easily handled formats?

Help.

with your web open, File | Import the files into (a folder) in your web,
create links to them on a page, publish to your remote site.

Word files and PDF files are not graphics.

Ok, I guess the .doc and .pdf files are not graphics, but I get them from
different users. Some are .doc, some are .pdf, some are .jpg, etc. How can I
insert the .pdf and the .doc files?

Thanks,

When I create a link to a .pdf document, for example, all I get is a little
graphics box on that page and not the full document that I am linking to.
Does this mean that the page can't find the document?

Thanks,

Gerry Goldberg

I'm not sure how you're "creating a link." You would create a hyperlink to
the document, just like you would to an HTML document.

... And, is it possible to convert

PDFs and .doc files aren't graphics, as Kevin pointed out.

..docs are useless to anybody who doesn't have Microsoft word installed, and
shouldn't be used on the web.
You can convert a .doc into HTML using Word - that would be a much better
way to present the information.

PDFs you can just link to just as you link to an HTML file, and as long as
the user has Adobe Acrobat Reader installed, it will open for them in the
browser window. (It's pretty ubiquitous these days.)
