Recently a few people have asked me about this so I figured I'd post a more detailed tutorial on it.

• First, upload the file to your File Manager.

• Then from the files listed on the left, find the newly uploaded Word document or PDF.

• Then “right” click on it and choose Copy Shortcut (this is copying the path to your clipboard behind the scenes).

• Then go to the post or create a new post. And in that post write….something like…

  Click here to download <whatever the topic is>

• Then highlight/select the two words “Click Here”.

• Then from the toolbar….click the paper clip icon…it says HTML link (next to the Insert Image icon)…..then a little window opens.
  

• The link text is “Click Here”.
  

• In the Link URL box….PASTE the link you copied from the typepad file name…. CTRL + V on your keyboard does a Paste.  Just like a regular Copy and Paste…but instead you copied a shortcut/URL.
  

• Then check the box to Open in a New Window.  This opens the file in a separate internet browser window and leaves your blog open in the background.

• Click the Save Changes button.

• Finishing posting and you're done.
