Title: Posting a word document on here?
Post by: Grandpa Shooter on March 20, 2011, 08:04:47 PM: Can someone explain to an illiterate old man how to post a word doc on here? I have tried but can't seem to get it done.

I'm assuming it is not too long or have graphics.

Copy from Microsoft Word and paste here as a new topic is not working. I tried saving it as a doc and then pulling it into photobucket but that doesn't work for me either.

I see no "attach" menu item in the message editor, so copy and paste is the way to go.

+1, also kills other stupid word things that end up on the clipboard. [barf]

Pasting it to Wordpad did the trick. Thanks! =)
