What is the easiest procedure for loading PDF. or other .DOC files into/onto ones own website and making easily downloadable by users of that website. To have them in dropdown menu logical or directory format would be even better. Thanks in advance.

Simply uplaod them as normal and link to them using href's as per usual and internet explorer will do the rest, just treat it like linking to an HTML page.

Hope this helps, if you need an expanded explanation let me know

It all depends on what program your using to create your html pages:

Dreamweaver:
Copy the "doc" or "pdf" file you want to use into your site directory
Open the html page you wish to link to the documents from, select the text or image you wish to use as the link
Link to the selected file as you would if it were another html file
Close upload and test

HTML:
<html>
<head>
<title>Test Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<a target='_blank' href="test.pdf">link text </a>
</body>

hope this helps;
