HI
I have wanted to post pictures of my switching layout along with descriptions of the areas and I was wondering if I could do this in msword and just upload the file
Thanks
Bill

I don't know the answer, but if I were going to do that I would save it as a .pdf file.

ADDED: Actually, it looks like you can upload .doc files, but I'd still save it as a .pdf. If you have a newer version of word then you may have to specifically select to save it as .doc instead of .docx.... hint, save it as a .pdf

I strongly recommend following Tom's advice. Print it to a PDF and everyone can read it. There are tons of free PDF print drivers available, no reason not to be able to generate a PDF.

pdf works for me (and I'm a digital dummy)

pdf files attach just fine also photos, but only upload two photos at a time. The photo files are so big that the system can't handle more than two in the same upload, but you can upload two, then go back and upload two more, etc.
