putting dowloadable word doc on page

[meanweaver]

Help! I am tryimg to put a word document on a page for people to download, I have linked to it under the normal <a href called printer friendy version, the only trouble I have is when people link to it before they can view it comes up asking for a user name and password, if I click cancel on this box then it views fine. Any ideas why this happens.

What software is asking for a password -- is it a browser request or is it Word?

[meanweaver]

It would appear to be word asking for the request,

Hi meanweaver, you'd have to change the document settings in Word, ie. Click to Save the document, then select Tools > Save options from the window that appears. Delete the passwords in their respective fields, and save the document again.

Im getting there but still need a little guidence with word, i have selected tools/options the the save tab. under file sharing options nothing is ticked and the password boxs are empty, not sure what i need to do here, am i in the right area.

I'm still having trouble with this, if I open up the word document from source it opens fine, so i dont understand why it does this when linked opened by a link to it.?

Hi meanweaver, that document wouldn't happen to be in a password-protected directory of the site, would it?
