Let's say you have a document like this:

Editing a document in Google Docs

 But you want it to have some images as well.

 While you may want to do this through a word document, Presage does not support uploading files of such a format.
 HOWEVER, presage does support uploading an HTML file. Here is how you can create a nice looking document with pictures and save it as an HTML file

 First, go to Google docs.

 From here, you can create a fresh Google Doc, or, upload an existing word document to Google Docs.
 Let's make a new Google doc.

 Once you have made the google doc and added the images you wanted,
 Click File>Download>Web page (.html, zipped).
 From here, you can extract the files from the downloaded .zip file, and upload the .html file.

What if I already have my word document and I don't want to rewrite all of it in Google Docs?

 Never fear, Google allows you to upload a word doc to your google drive, edit it in google docs, and re-download it to your computer as a .html file, as seen below.

 Once you have your word file opened in Google docs, repeat the step above where you save the file as a zipped .html file.
