Portfolios using Google Docs

Question: A student was trying to upload a Word document with clip art to her Google portfolio. The text would display but not the clipart.

Solution: If they are using Google Docs as the portfolio, the problem is probably with the upload. When you get to the choose file screen there is a
Checkbox that asks if you want to convert the format to Google Docs from Word, Excel, or whatever. The default is ‘yes.’ You save disk space
By checking it, but you loose graphics. If they uncheck the box before uploading it should work.
