3. Select an existing file or upload a new file by clicking the Upload icon (arrow pointing up on the right side of the File Manager pop-up).

4. Once uploaded, click on the file title twice. Once to select, and another time to populate URL. Check the box “Icon” if you want a PDF or Word Doc icon to appear. (Some of these options may be preselected by default for you, and some versions of Joomla will automatically add the icon.)

Then click Insert.
