This plugin is a spin-off of our Docxpresso API library designed to generate all kind of dynamical documents on your web server (PDF, Word, ODT, RTF). If you use our plugin we would be very thankful if you fulfill this simple online survery. How to use it NOTE: If you have updated to WP5. or you are using the Gutenberg editor plugin you should also have a look at the Gutenberg - WP5 Block editor* section of this page.

1. Create a standard document with the content that you want to insert in your Post or Page using your favourite Word Processor or Spreadsheet (MS Word, Libre Office or Open Office).
2. IMPORTANT: Save your document in .odt (or .ods format for spreadsheets) format. In MS Word choose OpenDocument (.odt) in your Save As dialogue (in Libre or Open Office is the default format). If you are working with Excel you may equivalently save it in Open Document Format (.ods in this case).
3. Create or edit a Post or Page in your WordPress interface.
4. Click the Insert Document button located over the text editor.
5. A standard WordPress media window will open. You may upload a new document with the required contents or use a previously uploaded document.
6. After choosing a file click on the Insert button.
7. A [docxpresso] shortcode will be included within your text editor.
8. You may then add or not any additional content to your post but do not try to modify by hand the contents of the Docxpresso shortcode unless you really know what you are doing.
9. You may insert as many documents as you wish in a single Post or Page.

NOTE: You may use also Docxpresso plugin in conjunction with other plugins that allow to retrieve documents from cloud storage repositories like Amazon S3. Check this video tutorial where you will find a detailed example of all the above: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wu_pi8FOrUs In case you want to make any of your tables sortable you also should:

1. Declare the first row of your table as a header row within your Office document
2. insert a "@" symbol as the first character in every column that you wish to be sortable
3. If you want to sort columns by numbers that do not follow the en-US standard, i.e. 3,576.45, you should modify the number format for sorting in your plugin options panel under the Settings section of your Wordpress installation

You may check how to do it with the help of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zv7lw_EliA8 Since v2.1 you may also insert in your document a link to a yotube video, a Google form or a Google doc to render it in your Wordpress post or page:

1. Go to youtube, Google forms or Google docs interfaces and copy the offered share link
2. Always use, if available, the short URL format
3. Insert it into your office document as a link
4. By default the videos are fluid and the forms and docs take all available width space. But you can set custom width and height by adding, for example, '?width=600&height=400' to the link URL

You may see an example in the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWl-RbFmcRE Gutenberg - WP5 Block editor Since v2.3 this plugin is compatible with the new "WP block editor", also known as Gutenberg:

1. Click on the Docxpresso block that is available together with all the standard widget blocks within your block editor interface.
2. A new block will appear in the editor interface with a button inviting you to select a file.
3. Clicking on that button a standard WordPress media window will open. You may upload a new document with the required contents or use a previously uploaded document.
4. After clicking on the "Select button" a shortcode will be inserted in your editor.
5. As before, if you wish, you may insert multiple documents with Docxpresso in the same page or post and combine them with all other available blocks.

NOTE: With this new editor you need to save the edition before being able to visualize the uploaded document in the preview page. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4pflMSiNsg If you prefer to use the "Classical editor" in your WP5 installation you may proceed as described in the previous section.
