Uploading Printables
|
Hi, I �m new to ESL Printables, so maybe there �s something I �m missing...
Every time I try to upload something, I receive an error message that says I have to use .doc, or in the case of my power points, .pts--or whatever it is. It asks me to check, or choose a different document. So, I clock "ok," but then it goes to the "uploading" page and says it �s uploading. It �s been an hour, and I still have the same uploading page.
My question is: Do the uploads usually take this long, or is something wrong? Also, I �m pretty sure my documents are .doc and .pts files... I �m uploading them from Microsoft word programs. I �m familiar with how to change the way these are saved, but I can see no other options. Is there a specific way I should be saving them?
Any help would be appreciated since I would like to participate on this site.
Thanks :)

Hi Missy,
Welcome!
From the FAQ section of this site:
FAQ � How do I upload a Worksheet?
Step one: Create a worksheet.
Step two: Make sure it�s in word (.doc) file
Step Three: Make sure it�s less than 299kb
Step four: go here: http://www.eslprintables.com/send_printables/sendprintablesnew1.asp
Step five: If it doesn�t work please try again in a few minutes, sometimes it takes several attempts. |

OK, I �ll try again. :) Thanks. So I �m assuming just saving it in Word, makes it a .doc file... I mean, that �s what I thought, but with these problems, I wasn �t sure all of a sudden :)

Check margins (no less than 0,5 cm) and and page size (A4 or legal size). Is it doc or docx ? |

It depends on what version of Word (mine is 2003) you are using. The newer versions use .docx and need to be converted to doc.

Bouboumai, if you open the document in Word and then go to "Save as..." it should give you the option to save as a Word document 97-2003.
