    How do I link to the document to make it print? Should it just ask the user if they want to open or save the document and then they can print it from there or is there another way or?

    Sorry for all the questions, I’m very new at working with these kinds of files.

    Thanks

    hello…

    google is your friend – you are on the very basics here with web stuff. if you put a file on your server and the user clicks to download it, they have a copy. then they can open it and do what they want with it.

    you need to make a link in your page:

    <a href=”/path/to/foo.doc”>click to download foo.doc</a>

    this is the html needed. if you are having a hard time, i suggest googling up some basics on html (there are endless resources out there that we can’t replicate here) or pick up a book at the store…

    not trying to be snarky – just honest. us teaching you one thing at a time won’t end up in you learning the bigger concepts, so best to find a start to finish resource out there…
