39507 2002-03-17 07:31:00 Can you experienced lot cast your minds back to when you first sent a document as an attachment, and describe (simply, simply!) to me how I do it please? I have Windows XP, Word and OE. I will probably save the doc. in My Documents.

Many thanks.

39508 2002-03-17 07:50:00 Yay, at last something I know the answer to! In Outlook once you have created a new email message to send, click on the attach icon (a paperclip. It will come up with a box entitled 'insert attachment'. In the box that says 'Look in', go to 'My Documents' or wherever you have saved the document. If it is in a folder inside My Documents, open the folder, then click on the document, then click on 'attach'. And there you have it, it will be sitting in your email, listed on the 'Attach' line. Repeat this if you have more than one attachment you want to send. ;-) Guest (0)
39509 2002-03-17 08:11:00 If you have saved your doc you can attach it to a message just like any attachment but if you have the doc open in front of you,you can send directly from Word, on the toolbar, look for a email icon, you might have to move your mouse over each one till you find the right one, when you do you can click it and that will open the email client and fill in the address etc as usual and click send Guest (0)
39510 2002-03-17 08:27:00 or another easy way, right click on a document, then go to send to...and select mail recipient. Guest (0)
39511 2002-03-17 20:16:00 WHY IS IT? EVERYONE WHO WAS 'WORD' THINKS ERVERYONE ELSE HAS 'WORD' OR A 'WORD' READER. Guest (0)
39512 2002-03-17 20:50:00 Peter, in this case I made no assumptions - I found out in advance that the recipient could open a Word doc attachment. I don't know much about computers and computing, but I know that much. I accept your gracious apology! Guest (0)
39513 2002-03-18 02:57:00 Don`t know about sending the attachment.
Can someone please explain how I open them.
A friend frequently sends me these and I just can`t open them , have to remind sender and they get sent some other way. Would really like to know how to.......

39514 2002-03-18 04:00:00 Just a quick not regarding the latest version of Outlook (2002, part of Office XP). By default you are unable to get e-mail attachments. If you got to this web site www.slipstick.com it address this issue and how to get around it. One option it doesn't give but you can try is to zip files up before sending them.

39516 2002-03-18 04:00:00 Iris, you click on the paperclip icon and from the drop down list, select the one that has been sent. If you have been doing this and it still can't open, it may be that the sender needs to send it in a format that your computer can actually 'read'. Guest (0)
