The select media button is for images only. It does not work for pdfs or Word documents.


 

For pdfs and Word documents:

When you select a document, it will create a link using the name you gave the document when it uploaded.

If you upload a pdf and name it 'Admission Requirements', when selected from the library it will create a link that says Admission Requirements. That link will open the pdf.
