Importing .pdf and .doc files into Manila sites?

[Nathaniel Cordova]

Hi Ken:

I've uploaded my syllabi and other documents as .pdf or .docs, (also 
.rtf) through the gems facility. They have worked quite well. My 
students click and download rubrics, syllabi, notes, powerpoint 
presentations, etc. Upload the file through gems, assign a name and 
place the name in quotation marks in the page from which you want them 
to download. It should work nicely.

What subject matter are you teaching?

best,

N
