Chapter 13:  Inserting and Formatting Text
Select File > Import > Word Document or File > Import > Excel Document. In the 
Import Document dialog box, browse to the file you want to add, select formatting 
options at the bottom of the dialog box, and then click Open.
The formatting options are as follows:
Text Only
 lets you insert unformatted text. If the original text is formatted, all 
formatting will be removed.
Text with Structure
 lets you insert 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
 lets you insert 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
 lets you insert text that retains all structure, 
HTML formatting, and CSS styles.
Clean Up Word Paragraph Spacing
 lets you eliminate 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.
Inserting a link to a Word or Excel document
You can insert a link to a Microsoft Word or Excel document in an existing page.
To create a link to a Word or Excel document:
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. 
The Insert Document dialog box appears.
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.
