printable page

Is it possible to have a WORD doc. associated to our
website? I guess I'm asking if it could be linked to a
particular page on the website. I don't have PDF writer to
make that type of form, so thought perhaps a WORD doc
could be used instead? Its for being able to print off
registration information that needs to be mailed back to
us.

While you can import a .doc into your web and link to it, this will
necessitate the user having Word installed on her\his machine. A better
approach is the .pdf format. (If you're going to do much web design work at
all, the software is a small investment well worth the money.)

Alternately, you could produce a page specifically for printing.

Hope this helps.

Ok thanks. So..if I made another page specifically for
prinitng..would I have to do anything in particular for it
to be printable? sorry if that seems silly to ask, still
new to this stuff. Since it's chorus website, not sure i'd
invest in the software at this point in time. thanks for
your helpfulness.

You might try this. Create a new page in FP. Ensure that it has just the
essential html so there isn't any formatting or colors. It should look like
this:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

Open your Word document, do a Ctrl + A, and Ctrl + C to select and copy all
the text. Next, paste it into Notepad. This will strip all the formatting
that Word puts in.

Next, do a Ctrl + A and Ctrl + C from Notepad, and paste it into your new
web page in design view. You'll have to format the text to your liking in FP.
Preview it in your web browser, and do a print preview to ensure that the
form will look like you want it to when you print it.

yes, you can link pretty much any kind of document from a web page. Insert a
hyperlink as normal and put in browse to the document you want within the
hyerplink dialogue.
