In these times we spend many hours in front of the computer, whether for professional or more personal reasons or related to leisure. For this we use programs like Chrome, Word, or Photoshop, almost always on the Windows 10 system.
All the applications that we can use today will be very helpful to us in order to work in the most efficient way with the PC . But at the same time we must add to all this what the entire universe of the Internet also offers us. What’s more, thanks to many of the platforms and applications that we have at our disposal, they make the creation of websites affordable for most.
Almost everyone can create and customize websites
With this what we want to tell you is that, something that was limited for a few just a few years ago, today is within the reach of the majority. Specifically, we are referring to web design, something that as you will surely know, allows us to share all kinds of content online with the rest of the world.
And as most of us already know, we are currently living in the Internet age. In this way, whether one way or the other, we share content of all kinds, our own or that of others. In addition, this is something that we usually carry out both from a desktop PC and from a mobile phone . As many of you will know first hand, for this we use social networks, messaging applications, chats, forums, or from our own websites or blogs. All this opens up a wide range of possibilities for sharing photos, videos, or text files , among many other things.
Well, that is precisely what we want to talk about in these lines, with which we will help you share certain content. While it is common practice to embed a video on the YouTube platform, or anything else on social networks, now we will see how to embed a Doc on your own website. In fact and depending on the needs and types of work of each one, it is possible that we have ever needed this.
Share Word documents on a personal website
In this way, in the event that you are a web developer or you run a blog or a personal website, then this thing that we will talk about will interest you. We tell you all this because below we are going to see how we can embed Word documents on a website.
Of course, to start we must know that in order to embed a document of this type that we discussed, we need an active account in OneDrive . This is the cloud storage platform proposed by Redmond for its users. Therefore, this is where we will initially save the document that we want to share. In fact, here we can upload a text document compatible with Word, but at the same time, to operate, we need in this case to use the web version of the OneDrive application.
This means that we will have to access our account of the cloud storage space, from the Internet browser . At the same time we must bear in mind that the Word document that we are preparing to embed with this method will be visible to everyone.
Therefore, once loaded, we right-click on the document and select the option called Insert. Then, in the panel that will open on the right side of the OneDrive interface, click on the Generate button.
This will give way to another panel where we can find the preview of the Word file, as well as a link to embed it. Therefore, once we generate the link we are looking for in this case, we will be able to embed the file wherever we want thanks to it.
Thus, when we have finished with the process as such, the Word document will appear as a widget on the web page that we are designing. This will allow us to view it, download it as a pdf , etc.
