Embedded public google docs or google sheets requiring google account login to view

[bcgsavt]

I have embedded several google docs/sheets in a website and viewed in incognito mode to ensure that everything is visible but some embedded files show while some don't. I have confirmed that sharing settings are the same for all embedded files (public, anyone with the link can view). 

Here is the site:

bcgsavt.weebly.com

On the "About Us" page: the alumni members doc loads fine, while the other two (current members/previous officers) does not load. 

Also on the "Funding" page: the embedded doc doesn't load. 

It seems like some pages require the viewer to be logged into a google account - but I don't understand why some things are perfectly viewed without being logged in/in incognito (alumni members, and also everything on the events page ). All these docs are in the same Google drive with same sharing access.

Any ideas?

It sounds like it is the share settings on the Google doc. For example, this doc on the About page requires special permission to view. Since I'm not logged into a valid account the doc won't show for me. Any doc that is public will show, though. 

Did someone share the link with you before you added it to the site? If you choose the first option on Google's share setting you shouldn't run into this problem.

Thanks, this is what I originally thought the issue was but I've double and tripled checked and the settings on the drive where they are owned has public viewing on, and each document also has the correct link sharing options on (anyone with the link can view) so I am not sure why some show and some do not? This may be a bug on Google's side, just wondering if there are any other ideas or anyone knows anything I could try?

I'm seeing messages that my Google account doesn't have permission to view the docs, so it definitely seems like it's a permissions issue of some kind.

Thanks for the help, both of you were right and it seems there was an issue on Google's end. Your feedback gave me the idea to make a copy of the docs that were not working and embed those instead- and that worked. I'm not sure why the originals never worked or why the sharing settings didn't seem to ever go into effect, but since the copies were fine I am using those instead.

Glad to hear it all worked out for you.

OK, I am looking to put my excel spreadsheet up online and maintain HTML links. I used the 

File/Publish to the Web

Embed

Sheet 1

then I copy and paste using embed code. 

Problem is it is a tiny window. How do I get it to fit the screen?

Thanks-

Karen
