Is it possible?

I'm working on a site for a friend. He wants to upload Word document files and
link to them from his main page. Is there a way to automatically generate the
links when he uploads his files? What do I need to make this work?

You'd need a script that executed on the server. What scripting is
supported on the host?

I think the question is about doing it outside of DW, Malcolm, i.e., through
a browser interface.

Copy the Word document into DW's local site. I put such documents into
a folder called data.

and link to it as you would a photo

The code DW produces looks something like this:

body
a href="data/wordfile.doc">worddoc</a
/body

when uploaded to the web, and someone clicks on the link the browser
will download the file and either save it on disc or load into word or
OpenOffice or whatever compatible word processor they user has.
