# Adding Word Document to File Objects

**File** Objects are Document Objects that contain Documents (Word Documents, Excel Documents, PDF Documents, etc.) The File Object can be seen as a container for the Document File. The File Object behaves like any other Document Object in the sense that it is under revision control, can be traced, has consistencies, etc.

## How to add a Word Document to a File Object

Create a File Object like any other Document Object and open it for editing.

Use the **Browse button** of the **File** attribute to select a file. Once the File has been uploaded, you can download the file by clicking on the file name. This will download a local copy of the file to your computer.

The following options are available for the **File** attribute using the browse button and the dropdown:

### Browse to a local file

This is the regular behaviour when clicking the Browse button.

### Browse 'Document Templates'

Use the **dropdown** on the **Browse button** and select **Browse 'Document Templates'** to select one of the Documents available in the Document Templates folder in the Template directory.

### Rename File

Use the **dropdown** on the **Browse button** and select **Rename File** to set a new name of the file. Do not include the file extension in the name.

### Clear Value

Use the **dropdown** on the **Browse button** and select **Clear Value** to delete the value of the File Attribute.
