Inserting document from Google Drive.

Inserting a Google document as an Iframe not only saves file manager space, but also allows for a preview of the document. This is particularly useful for Meeting Minutes.

Step 1: locate your document in Google Drive

Step 2: Right click on the document to load the context menu, and click on share.

Step 3: Ensure the privacy level is set to 'Anyone with the link'- so that visitors to the main website don't need to be logged in.

Step 4: Click done. Now right click on the document again, but click preview.

Step 5: From the three dots in the right hand corner, click 'Open in a new window'

Step 6: Then click 'Embed item...'

Step 7: Copy the HTML code to your clipboard.

For use on any part of the website.

Step 8: You may now paste this into any HTML control on the website. I recommend changing the width parameter to 100%, so it makes best use of screen space.

For example,

Becomes:

For use on the meeting minutes page

Click the source button on the meeting minutes box

Extract the unique document id from the url- this starts after "d/" and ends before "/preview":

Override only the corresponding unique document id for the given title.

This ensures all the amazing styles will remain on the page.
