# 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

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:
