How do I add a document link in html?

[htmlchallenged!]

:confused: Greetings! I am very new to the html world. I am in charge of updating our website at work. A suggestion was brought up to make various forms available on the website so people don't necessarily have to come into the office for these things. I want to add a link or something to the website that allows users to click on and print/download a document. The documents are currently stored on my computer (as a word doc, mostly). I have tried reading language on tutorial websites, but find myself overwhelmed by the amount of information included. Can anyone "Baby Step" this for me? I would be grateful for any suggestions you can offer.:( THANKS!!

1. Upload it to the web server (where your other documents reside)
2. Create the link:
<a href="filepath.htm">Link</a>
Insert the path to the file in the "href", and the text to indicate the link in "Link"

:confused: Upload it? The document? I have not done this yet and there are no other documents available currently, it is a new idea I am working on. I access the web page through FTP something and a little box comes up which shows all current web pages. I am trying to add an application (link?) to the permit page. Sorry, I really am computer challenged. lol

Well, I followed your steps and I have an underlined "Application" link... so that was successful, but when you click on it it says page could not be found. Any suggestions on how to upload the document? Thanks for your help. I am hopeful now!!!! Thanks again!!!

Your website does not reside on your personal computer. You need to find out how you access your web files (usually through FTP), upload the necessary file to the server (so it is available to everyone instead of just you), and then place the address (where you put it on the web server) in your link.

Greetings! Thanks for all your help... I am still trying to make it work but appreciate the time you took to explain things to me!!! Enjoy your day. When I get this up and running I'll post my success, lol. ;)
