    Is it possible to embed Google documents. I’ve tried using the public url but I get an invalid file type error message.

    Using Google docs would prevent the need to change the shortcode when the document is edited and enable me to control who is able to update which documents – a massive time saver

    Mr Wood,

    This is addressed in the FAQ, “Does it work with files saved in Google Docs/Drive?”

    In short, the answer is “no,” because the files must be in their native formats and accessible at a standard URL that includes their file type, not a shortened or otherwise cloud-bogus link to the file. However you might get the same net benefit by putting the files in Dropbox or something similar (that maintains the original file extension in the URL) and controlling who can write to that.
