Embedded Files
Instructions:
Instructions:
These instructions are only for documents that were not made in Google Drive. For example, if you made a PowerPoint Presentation, or made a document using Pages from Mac then you want to use the instructions below to insert your document into a Google Site.
First convert or export your document into a PDF document.
Most programs including Powerpoint, Word, or Pages allow you to save a document as a PDF instead. This can normally be found under the wording "Save File As" or "Export File" . To the right you will see a screenshot of the Menu in PowerPoint when you click on File in the top left - this is an example of the kind of menu you should be looking for if you are trying to convert or export your document into a pdf.
2. Now upload your PDF document to Google Drive. To do this, you will have to click the New button with a plus sign on it, on the left side of your Google Drive, and then click File Upload. You will be prompted to select a file
3. You can now insert the document into your Google Site. To do this, you need to go to the Insert Tab and then click Drive.
4. You will then see your Google Drive and will be able to navigate to the file you want to insert. Click on the file you want and then at the bottom a blue pop up opens and you can click on Insert.
3. Once embedded or inserted into your Google Site, you can resize it using the blue dots on the corners and sides of your file.
4. You don’t have to make the entire document visible as the visitors to your webpage will have a button to open the document in a new browser tab.
5. Remember that the files you embed will need to be changed from Restricted to Anyone with the link (i.e. make it public) so that site visitors can see the embedded document.
