My goal is to be able to take images from my word document (as with text) and insert it/them into my blog post. Thanks In order for images to appear, you must upload the image files, those that end in JPG, JPEG, GIF or PNG, and insert them in your post.

Please take a moment and read the discussion I linked to above. It will answer your question.

When I write a post in word, I am able to copy/past into post. I am not able to do the same w/ images though. I changed file to pdf and still it would not load to media library. The media library says it accepts .docx and .doc but I've found that to be incorrect. Attempting pdf I thought would work, but it did not.

So the problem isn't that it won't upload per se, but it does not upload the image/text from Word.

Are you trying to use Word as your blog editor? If so, please read this recent thread: http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/upload-doc-and-docx?replies=10

I am unable to upload .doc .docx or pdf to my media library or posts. I would appreciate some help. When I use the drop method it says 'select file' and I choose from computer, click on and add the particular file. It continues to crunching and then uploads a sort of default text page Ipsem... The URL field is always filled in automatically. So the problem isn't that it won't upload per se, but it does not upload the image/text from Word. grrr.

I do want wordpress.org since I'm hosting WordPress on my hosting provider. And, thesacredpath, you make some excellent points. I will require all users to register before they can upload but even so, that's not much protection. I think I'll try having people email me the files and i'll scan and then post them myself. It's intended to be a repository of rally/tour routes which anyone can comment on and download. I don't see any problem with me putting them on the site instead of allowing users to do so. Thanks a bunch for the responses!

Also, this might violate ToS on web hosts that offer "unlimited" space in their hosting plans. In the ToS, "unlimited" only applies to files used on the site, not extraneous files from others that are NOT part of the site.

Second ToS violation possibility is if someone uploads something with malware in it and it ends up infecting the server and the other users on the server. I know of at least two instances where someone inadvertently uploaded malware to a web host and it infected the server and the account holder ended up paying for the cleanup since they were the ones that allowed it to happen (to the tune of about $2500).

This might end up costing you $50 to $100 per month minimum and then keep you would have to keep a close eye on what is uploaded and purge regularly to keep from exceeding your site space allowances.

And this is an absolute assurance: Web hosts scan their systems all the time for malware, adware and virus' and if they find one in your account (no matter who uploaded it). They shut you down. Period. No warning. That happens multiple times and you will never get your site back.

Allowing the general public to upload things to your site = seriously bad idea

You can read more about User Roles here, http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/

If you would like to allow any user to upload files, this cannot be accomplished with the WordPress.com free blog. You will want to look into using the self hosted WordPress.org. You can read more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here, http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

If you want to know if what your asking can be accomplished with WordPress.org you will need to ask the question in the WordPress.com forums. You can view the WordPress.org forums here, http://wordpress.org/support/

I'd like to create a site that allows users to create a post and upload documents attached to it in a variety of formats, probably mostly DOC, TXT, XLS and PDF. I would then like to keep the post from being displayed until I approve it. I think I can handle the approval process through base WordPress features but I can't quite figure out which approach to use for attaching files to the post. Is there any plugin or process you suggest for this? I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!

The only case you won't get the appended number is if you delete the file and re-upload the new version the next month - but then the date will be different. In short, there's no way to upload a new version of a file and retain the same URL. If you need that, you'll have to upload such files to outside file-hosting sites.

I need the following url to http://beripped.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/damian-nixey-actor-producer-june-2011.pdf

To update with new pdf: http://beripped.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/damian-nixey-actor-producer-june-20117.pdf

I've deleted the old files, had a look at the HTML but whenever I re-upload a file, rather than replacing the "june-2011.pdf" it just keeps uploading to a new url eg:

-june-20116.pdf
-june-20117.pdf
-june-20118.pdf
etc.

Can't seem to find orginal file in library, and am unable to amend in library.

Help me obi wan!

At wordpress.com, you have some 70 or so themes to chose from, under Appearance > Themes in your dashboard. NO external themes are possible. You can also purchase a CSS Upgrade which allows you to style existing themes and change them considerably from how they look originally.
