faqs: How do I send files as an email attachment ?
We have received a number of enquiries asking for more information of how to attach files (for example a Word document) to an email.
First you need to logon to your mailbox (Hotmail, Yahoo etc) and choose the option to Compose a new message (or Send or Create - the exact command will depend on the mail system you are using).
Then, when you wish to attach a file you should choose the option to allow you to add attachments (for example, using Hotmail, you should click on "Add/Edit Attachments"). You should then see a page giving the options to Find or Browse for files. When you select "browse" to find the files you want to send you may be shown A: or E: or sometimes "Desktop" as the suggested location of your files (the exact message depends on what other disk operations you may have performed since logging on).
If the bar titled "Look in..." shows "Desktop" - just double-click "My Computer" in the list underneath and you will be shown the two disk drives (A) or (E) that you can use. Select the drive you want to use and select your file(s).
If the display already shows the content of the A: or E: disk and you want to go back to choose the other disk, just click on the icon with the "up-arrow" sign on the toolbar, then choose the disk you want.
Once you have chosen the file (or files) you want to attach, you will then need to click on "Attach" (or similar message) on the mail systems page.
