3 In the Insert Document dialog box, browse to the file you want to add, select any of the formatting options from the
Formatting pop-up menu at the bottom of the dialog box, and then click Open.
Text Only Inserts unformatted text. If the original text is formatted, all formatting will be removed.
Text With Structure Inserts text that retains structure, but does not retain basic formatting. For example, you can
paste text and retain the structure of paragraphs, lists, and tables, without retaining bold, italics, and other
formatting.
Text With Structure Plus Basic Formatting Inserts both structured and simple HTML-formatted text (e.g.,
paragraphs and tables, as well as text formatted with the b, i, u, strong, em, hr, abbr, or acronym tag).
Text With Structure Plus Full Formatting Inserts text that retains all structure, HTML formatting, and CSS styles.
Clean Up Word Paragraph Spacing Eliminates extra space between paragraphs when you paste your text if you
selected Text With Structure or Basic Formatting.
The contents of the Word or Excel document appear in your page.
Create a link to a Word or Excel document
Note: The user interface has been simplified in Dreamweaver CC and later. As a result, you may not find some of the

this article .
You can insert a link to a Microsoft Word or Excel document in an existing page.
1 Open the page where you want the link to appear.
2 Drag the file from its current location to your Dreamweaver page, positioning the link wherever you want.
3 Select Create A Link, and then click OK.
4 If the document you are linking to is located outside of your site’s root folder, Dreamweaver prompts you to copy the
document to the site root.
By copying the document to the site’s root folder, you ensure that the document will be available when you publish
the website.
5 When you upload your page to your web server, make sure to upload the Word or Excel file, too.
Your page now contains a link to the Word or Excel document. The link text is the name of the linked file; you can
change the link text in the Document window if you wish.
Use HTML Formatting

While CSS is the preferred method for formatting text, Dreamweaver still lets you format text with HTML.
