First of heres the link to my board:

Click Here

Okay I dont know how to exactly explain this but I will try.

I have a newsletter that ive done on word and I want to put it on my board. I want it to go in the side bar. What id like to do is for members to see the image or link or both in the side bar and for the members to click on that and to see the news letter in full. I have written it on word and it is just one page. Now I dont know how to do that. I dont know if theres some kind of way to do that. Where I can put the link and image of the news letter and for members to be able to click on it and it pops up in their word document maybe or on a blank page.

If anyone could help me that would be great!...I hope im making sense ^_^

You need to consider a few things before you complete this idea.

One: what if a user does not have a compatible version of Microsoft Word that you have used?
Two: what if a user doesn't even have Microsoft Word?
Three: what if a user doesn't have a compatible viewer in their browser?

So, right off the bat, I suggest you create the file as an html file. Take the Word document, and "Save As" and html file.

I would then upload that file and link to it for your members to download/view.

Two versions to create the link:
TEXT:
<a href="ADDRESS TO UPLOADED FILE" target="blank">Newsletter Download</a>

IMAGE:
<a href="ADDRESS TO UPLOADED FILE" target="blank"><img src="ADDRESS TO IMAGE FILE" width="__" height="__" alt="Newsletter" /></a>

Either way, you can link to the newsletter and they will be able to read it.

Hope this helps.

Please copy/paste your code here so it can be reviewed for errors.
