  2. The File Upload field allows users filling out your form to upload a file.

    To use it you simple add it as a field on your form. You can edit it and configure it's available settings. Some of the settings include limiting the file extensions that it will allow users to upload. By default it should allow most common extensions, including .doc which is the extension used by Word files.

    To use it you need to preview the form and submit a test, the field will let you browse and select a file and when you submit the form it will upload the file you selected as part of the form submission.

    Errors are most likely going to be file permission related. Gravity Forms needs the wp-content/uploads folder to be writeable because that is where it places files uploaded via File Upload fields.

    Try the above, and if you get an error... let us know exactly what error or errors you encounter so we have more details to go on.
