Embedding your documents on your site allows people to easily view them without having to download the files seperately as attachments. Documents you have created or uplaoded in your Google Docs can be embedded on to your ePortfolio.
Most Microsoft Office formats (Word, Powerpoint, Excel) can be uploaded to Google Docs and embedded in your ePortfolio.
Embedding Docs to your Site
To embed a document to your site, select the Insert menu and scroll down to Documents.

A pop-up will open containing a list of files that you can insert. This will list all files you have uploaded to Google Docs under your UW account. You can embed Documents, Presentations, Spreadsheets, Forms, Calendars, Maps, and other files in to your ePortfolio.

You can only embed files which you have access to. Also, if the file you have embedded is set to private, nobody else can see it except you. Make sure that the privacy settings for the document you are embedding matches the levels set for your site.
