I have a seven page word document that I want to share online. Failing…

First tried to post on Facebook. No go, only phots or videos.  
Next I tried a google doc, but can’t get the images to show in the doc.

Need answer fast please!

When you uploaded it as a Google doc, did you let Google convert it to Google doc format?  
If so, try again and tell Google docs not to convert (it’s a checkbox in the pop-up window).  
See if that helps your image problem.

If you have access to a server, FTP it and then post a link to it. If you do not have the FTP option, you might try this: open your doc in word, display it in full screen. Then use your prt scn key to get it as a screen shot. Paste it into MS Paint, edit and save it as an image file. Repeat for each page, post the image files.

You can also “print” to a PDF file from the print function. Does Facebook accept PDFs?

Or, use [DropBox](https://www.dropbox.com/home#:::) if you don’t want to involve Facebook.
