Word Document Upload

[Gaccha]

I am trying to uplaod a Word document for the Language Forum but I am told that "Error You aren't permitted to upload this kind of file".

Is this an error or is there a policy to not allow Word document uploads? (the uploading is working fro other files, e.g. JPEG)

I would indeed preder to upload as a PDF but when I ahve converted to a PDF many parts of the Thai language font sections dissolve into a mess.

My document is around 30 pages long and will be of great use to the dedicated Thai language learners.

Please assist.

Is it .doc or .docx ?

Ah, it's a docx

I take it that docx can't be handled..? I wanted to use it as I figured it would help it to be clean of metadata.

No problems.

.doc was already allowed. I have now added .docx

Cheers

Thanks George.

I've mucked arund with PDF until it stopped corrupting the document so I've used a PDF after all... but thanks in advance for next time.

The pdf option is the better choice as not everyone will have MS Word or Open Office installed. Also, .docx is Word 2007 and up and suspect many still use Word 97-2003 whereas .pdf is pretty universal. Then there is the issue of fonts where pdf supports embedded fonts.
