Uploading MS Word (.doc) files - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

Dennis do you have any tips for uploading MS Word (.doc) files.

The present limit on these files is 19.5KB, now that is a very small Word file. Unfortunately you can't upload .RTF files. I tried converting it to .TXT but a lot of the format was gone (mainly tables).

The only other option is to wait till I go into work and convert it to PDF.

Thanx

Thanks for the link Bill, I've heard that is a great program but I use MS office at home. I used GO2PDF which although it creates a link on every page is very small, and freeware. At my work they use PDF Creator but you've got to pay for that.

I converted my .doc using GO2PDF and posted the following link :

I do think that it would be handy to raise the limit on the .doc file as you only need a few lines of text and you exceed the maximum allowed.

Fixed.... 1MB should be the limit now.... thanks for pointing this out to me... VB sets the filesize low.. as a default to save on bandwidth ect..
