If you want to keep pictures and/or formatting... then you have two choices:

1. Yes, put the document on a server somewhere and post the link for members to download.... BUT, remember, they must HAVE Word on their computers to read a Word document.

2. Convert it to a .PDF (Acrobat format) document, which is universally readable with a free reader from Adobe. A .PDF can also be attached to a post, but the size limitation is often a killer for this approach.
However you must have the software to Create a .PDF.. which is not free... either use the Acrobat "writer" program or Pagemaker. Maybe if you know someone who has these tools, they can make a PDF out of your Word doc for you.
