    it should be the same as linking any other file.. look on google for the proper way if that above link doesnt help

    Place a link to it, something like,

    <p >You might like to see my <a href="mydoc.doc" title="This here is my document.">document</a>.</ p>

    (...notice I left some spaces in the < p > tags for the benefit of our ol' pal Yahoo! Answers...) You know of course that "mydoc.doc" will be the name of your document file... So when someone's viewing the web page and they click the word "document", they'll be prompted either to download the document or open Word to look at it (depending on how THEY have their browser set up!).
