 * I was hoping to use this plugin to display some of my poetry. My poems are not
   on the web anywhere they are just Word documents on my computer. What do I need
   to do?
 * Thanks!!

 * Hi cdevenney,
 * All you should need to do for the simplest solution is to upload all of the word
   documents to the page that you want these documents included, then paste the 
   following code where you want the icons to appear: `[document-gallery]`.
 * You can find more advanced configuration options under the [installation tab](http://wordpress.org/plugins/document-gallery/installation/).
 * All the best!
    Dan
 * PS: If this plugin is helpful, please take a minute to [give it a 5-star rating](http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/document-gallery#postform).
   Thanks!

 * Dear Mr. Rossiter,
 * I have a similar question but I am certain you have already covered this. I just
   cannot find the answer.
 * I am indexing club newsletters for my Rotary Club. They are printed every week
   so we have a ton of *.PDF’s currently organized into sub-folder by year. I know
   I can use ID to place documents into the right section of one page. My intention
   is to place the contents of each folder (sub to document-gallery) so I can simply
   drop new newsletters into the sub-folder.
 * Can I change the path of the default directories to route the proper posts to
   the correct section of the page? I actually see a way to edit the path but not
   allow for multiple default paths.
 * Also, I cannot see my PDFs. I try to upload using the Gallery upload utility 
   but they disappear as soon as I upload them . So I tried simply copying the files
   into the document-gallery folder. That didn’t work either.
 * How do I actually get these PDF’s into the gallery so I know the ID #?
 * -Jon

 * Hi Jon,
 * Because this plugin is designed with portability in mind, it relies solely on
   systems built into the WordPress core in order to populate various document galleries.
   Unfortunately, because WP doesn’t recognize special directories, documents within
   them would not be visible to the plugin.
 * That said, a user just recommended [allowing selection of documents by category or tag](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/sorting-documents-by-categorytag-or-other-taxonomy),
   which would likely meet your needs quite well. Although this feature is not yet
   implemented, it should be released relatively soon (contingent on paid work and
   other commitments).
 * All the best,
    Dan
