I seek to copy Word documents into Discussion forums on university web sites, but am blocked by Firefox. What do I do to change this?

Hi

Do you mean attached the file to a discussion forum or copy the text into the forum?

If you are trying to do the former, it may not be an issue with Firefox, but more the design of the forum. You may wish to try converting the file into a *.pdf file using your word processing software and then uploading the converted file.

I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look into a different solution for you.
