Documents Page

The Documents page allows you to link to another site or to upload documents and spreadsheets that are automatically converted to PDF for you (or you can upload your own PDF documents). In EditMode, the Documents page looks like this:



Many of the features of your Documents page are the same as other pages. For example, you can hide the page from the public by clicking on the 'Hide page' checkbox and clicking the 'Save' icon. Click here for more help on hiding a page. You can also rename the page, by typing a new page name in the title bar. Click here for more help on renaming a page.

You can display text at the top of your page by simply typing directly into the text box. You can format this text (font size, bold, italics, underline) and insert links to documents and other pages. Don't forget to save your changes.

Uploading a document

It is easy to upload a PDF, Word or Excel document to this page. If you upload a Word or Excel document, it will automatically be converted to PDF format to allow it to be widely read by people who may not own Word or Excel software, and also to avoid the risk of spreading viruses that can reside in Word and Excel documents.

Please note that when a Word or Excel document is converted to PDF, the process is similar to printing a document. Therefore the way the document appears as a PDF will be similar to the way it would appear if you had printed it instead. For example, only one tab of an Excel spreadsheet will be included in a PDF and the PDF will become multiple pages if the spreadsheet would normally print over more than one page. If you want greater control over the way your documents appear when they are converted to a PDF, you can create the PDF on your own computer and then simply upload that PDF.

To upload a document now, click on the 'Browse' button:



  1.  Find the document on your computer. (Note: documents must not exceed 5 MB in size).
  2.  Type a description for the document. e.g. ‘Coaching guidelines’.
  3.  Click the ‘Upload’ button.

Your document will appear on the right hand side of the screen with its status showing as 'Pending conversion'. It will take a couple of minutes for it to be converted to a PDF. Note that this will NOT be visible to you until you revisit the Documents page. You can check whether your document was successfully uploaded by clicking on the menu item for Documents to revisit the Documents page.

Any new document that you upload will display at the top of any existing documents. You can delete a document by ticking the checkbox next to the document and clicking the 'Delete selected' button. If you want to rename a document, you must delete the document and upload it again with the new name - if you do not have the original document saved on your computer, remember to save a copy BEFORE you delete it from your website.
