Embedding documents in post

We will make use of the Google Doc Embedder plugin for WordPress to embed Powerpoint, Word, and PDF documents into posts. The steps involved are:

  1. Upload your document as an attachment through the “Add Media” button
  2. Copy the URL for the uploaded attachment
  3. Click the Google Doc Embedder button in the formatting toolbar
  4. Paste the URL you copied in #2 into the URL field. This generates a shortcode which will look something like
    GDE Error: Error retrieving file - if necessary turn off error checking (403:Forbidden)
  5. Click Insert to add the shortcode string to your post.

We also support embedding Prezi presentations through the Prezi WP plugin. Simply insert the shortcode [prezi id='{Insert ID for your Prezi here}'].
