Reminders:
Uploading a document will not change its properties. If a Word document is uploaded and published and a user clicks on the link to the document, they will be prompted to
Save or
Open it with a program that can open Word documents.
The best practice is to save your Word document as a pdf file - thus giving you more control over how the document will look for the user. Click here to find out about

Do not put an ampersand (
&) in your filename. If there is one, please remove or rename it or users will not be able to access your document.
Once your document is uploaded, only
Administrators can delete it. However, you can revise the same document and upload over it by clicking on the
Overwrite if file exists box to replace the original file.
