Hi Kyle,
Clicking on the link will usually cause them to download, however you could also package the word files in a program such as WinZip (winzip.com) and make them available for users that way.
Good luck!
Brian

Don't you have to have the version of word it was created in to view it?

I had never thought of that! I'll have to check as I recently put some up for a client and he's used the most recent version and that's what I have so never even gave it a second thought! Does any one know??

An interesting article at MSN http://xtramsn.co.nz/technology/0,,7003-1757656,00.html today about holes in word files, can we trust any file out there?
