I want to either add in a link to, or somehow put in a word file, that is an application form.
I've tried saving the doc as a web page, but the link doesn't work
Upload the .doc file, and link to it. Unless you are using a host with limitations on filetypes, there should be no problem. If you have a problem creating a link, we should be able to tell what you are doing wrong if we were to see the page with the link.
