SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to add a file from an HTTP server while running the Web Page Wizard, the following error message appears:

The Wizard cannot add this type of file to your Web site.

When you click OK, the wizard continues to run.



CAUSE

 * 2) Click to select the Web Page Wizard and click OK.
 * 3) Click Next three times.
 * 4) Click Add Existing File.
 * 5) In the File name box, type the UNC path to the file you want to include.
 * 6) Select the file and click Open. Or, right-click the file and then click Open in Microsoft Word on the menu that appears.
 * 7) Click Finish.

Method 2: If the File Is Not Available via a UNC Path
Click OK when you receive the message in the "Symptoms" section of this article and finish running the Web Page Wizard. In the new page, create a hyperlink to the file.
