Scribd is a wonderful tool to embed a document directly in your Web Page/Folio so the document appears on the page instead of as a link. In a few minutes, you can make research papers, essays, and sample writings more engaging and visually appealing!

- Adobe PDF (.pdf)
- Adobe PostScript (.ps)
- Microsoft Word (.doc/.docx)
- Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt/.pps/.pptx)
- Microsoft Excel (.xls/.xlsx)
- OpenOffice Text Document (.odt, .sxw)
