Author Topic: Help! How do I send a Word document as an attachment? Michah Member Member # 10438 posted                    I have a document that has to be submitted before midnight tonight. I have it on Word, but don't know how to get it where it needs to go as an attachment (supposedly to an e-mail?) Help, please.

Pretty much all modern email programs can attach files. If you use Outlook you do it by clicking on the "Insert" menu item (on the email message window), and then selecting "File".

If you use outlook express, click on "Attach" and it will give you a popup window to find it. You can practice by emailing yourself. What I do is first save the document to my desktop with a name I recognize. Then when you go to find it, it is easy to find.

This button, when pushed, brings up a file selector. From there, select the Word File in question. Word documents are created in MS-Word and usually have the extension .doc and show up as a little blue W, if the program is installed on your computer. MS Word by default saves all documents to the "My Documents" directory. This is all rudimentary computer stuff... so it shouldn't be too difficult to find ANYONE that has used a computer to help you do this in person if the instructions aren't clear. --Ray Posts: 13035 | Registered: Oct 98  |  IP: Logged |  cookie Member Member # 10337 posted                   With Outlook, we use this method (the first description in the link): [1. If you are using Microsoft Word 2002 or Microsoft Office Word 2003, point to Send To on the File menu, and then click Mail Recipient to send the document as the body of the message. Alternatively, point to Mail Recipient (as Attachment) to send the document as an attachment to the message. If you are using Microsoft Office Word 2007, click the Microsoft Office Button, point to Send, and then click E-mail..] When using our Yahoo mail account we save the document to the desktop or 'my documents' and then use the attachment button in the yahoo mail 'compose' section. It lets you 'browse' for wherever you have that document saved (desktop, document folder, etc).

I also send a copy of the email to myself sometimes to make sure the attachement is sent.

Has saved me from many a bad 'send'... I highly recommend you try that Michah! Posts: 751 | Registered: Jan 2008  |  IP: Logged |  LynnTruthseeker Member Member # 372 posted                    I tried three times to send a Word document to my Yahoo acct. I needed to send the church bulletin to the bishop's councilor, so he could print it out because I couldn't go to church today. I kept getting the error message, cannot find Yahoo! I hate Outlook! It never sends anything! I have several e-mails I attempted to send from Outlook, and nothing happened. They are all still in my Outlook In box. I don't use IE anymore, I've switched to Firefox, which I like much better, but it seems that if I try to send an article from the Church web site, or other places, Outlook automatically pops up, and I get nowhere. Of course, with things that are on the web, I can simply copy and paste the address into my Notepad and then into my Yahoo mail, but with Word document taken from floppy disk, there is no URL involved, so I can't e-mail it.

Why? Posts: 1305 | Registered: Jun 2001  |  IP: Logged |  LynnTruthseeker Member Member # 372 posted                    Is there anyway to disable Outlook? Posts: 1305 | Registered: Jun 2001  |  IP: Logged |  Shane Member Member # 2160 posted                    Here's a good thread on how to do so: http://forums.speedguide.net/showthread.php?t=182880 Posts: 3194 | Registered: May 2006  |  IP: Logged |  LynnTruthseeker Member Member # 372 posted                    Woohoo! I played around a bit, and finally figured out how to send my Word docs to both my gmail and yahoo e-mail accounts. Now I'll be able to send the ward bulletin to the bishopric, if I'm not able to get to church, like last Sunday. I can also send it to my Google Docs, so I can update it from there. Thanks for all the suggestions. I bookmarked that SpeedGuide website. It looks interesting.

Complications cost him another hour. I was not able to get my material - - - which I'd worked on for three days - - - onto the internet until after the deadline. BUT - - - I did learn how to send an attachment! It was easier than I thought. Thanks again. Posts: 103 | Registered: Feb 2008  |  IP: Logged |
