  I would like to add an image of a word document I created to my blog. I have figured out how to make it a PDF file so I can link it but I want to be able to see the image. Basically, I would like the word doc to be visible on my blog and anyone who wants to use the doc can download it and make the wording in the doc work for them. Help please. Thank You!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Can you just make a screenshot of at least part of the Word document or of the PDF?

  Then you can just upload that image for folks to catch the link to download your information.

  Thank you so much for the info! I will try that next time! I was on the last part of my blog when I ran into this problem and posed the question. I just wanted to get the blog posted….impatient much? I ended up using a free service to convert the pdf to jpg so I could get the blog done. Thank you for the advice! I will give it a go on my next doc as I have many docs I have created that I would like to upload!

  I’d be interested to know what free service you used! Also can you link to the post where you did it?

  “Nigh night” time for me as well…

  You can also embed the document directly into a post. The methods I know of are described here:

  I just used a PDF Converter but usually they will only allow you to do a few for free then you have to sign up.

  Ok, so I’ve been playing around with this a bit. I found a way to do it without using a PDF converter. May seem like a lot of steps but it’s really easy. I turn my word doc into a PDF. Then I email myself the PDF. I open it on my iphone and take a screenshot. While on my iphone I crop it to remove the black border. I then email the picture back to myself. I open the email on my computer. Then open it in paint so I can change it from .png to .jpg. Done! I now have a pic of my doc that I can open in Picasa!
