Purpose

Attachments are documents which are sent in tandem with your email message. Once the other person receives your attachment, they will be able to open and access the document as long as they have compatible software. You can use this process to send files to colleagues, or have students submit homework assignments.


Access the "Attach Document" command

Step 1: Create a new email message
Step 2: Click the "Attach Document" icon in the tool bar


Select the file

Step 1: Navigate to the folder in which the document exist.
Step 2: Highlight the document you want to attach to the email message.
Step 3: Click "Attach".


Attach the documents

Step 1: Repeat the process to attach additional documents. The attached document will appear next to the "X-Attachments" in the header.


Additional options

You can use the "Command Key and H-Key" combination to attach the document. Also, if you computer supports drag and drop capabilities, you can simply drag the file to be attached on top of the email message and release it. This will attach the two together.
