how to show .Doc files after uploading

Hello guys, i have created a simple app using devise and paperclip gem. I created my model using devise and i created a seperate controller to show what user has uploaded and generated the view file for it too. i have uploaded .Doc file and in the browser i'm getting my table as Name, Email and Document as per my show file, But Under Document i am getting the url for the doc i uploaded How can i view the doc file i uploaded and generate a download link of that.

Please don't use images to show code, include relevant code here, provided it is only a few lines, or put it somewhere like pastebin to make it available.

Whether a file is downloaded or opened in the browser when the user clicks on a link to it depends on whether the browser has the right plugins or not. What happens if you click on the link to the document?

I believe you asked this question once before. What do you think in your code the td with image_tag user.avatar.url does? (see now why not to use a jpg, I have had to go and look at the image and re-type it rather than copying). Look at the html in the browser and see what it is.

I told you that when you asked before. Use link_to rather than image_tag so you will make a link to the url not an image of the document.

Start a new thread for that one. It is always best to ask one question per thread or everything gets confused. First try googling for the exact error message you get. If that does not help, or if you have done it already then copy/paste the full error message in the new thread and if it points to your code then also post that section of code (just the lines leading up to the error).
