Sending Any Document As an Attachment to an E-mail Message

You aren't limited to attaching Word documents to e-mail messages. If you create a message in Word, you can attach any document to the message, including Excel workbooks, PowerPoint presentations, or files created in other programs.

Follow the steps in "Composing and Sending an E-mail Message from Word" or "Sending a Word Document in the Body of an E-mail Message" earlier in this hour , but in step 2, add this procedure:

1. Click the Insert File button in the e-mail header (see Figure 22.10).

   Figure 22.10. Click the Insert File button to attach any document to your e-mail message.

   

2. In the Insert File dialog box, navigate to and select the document that you want to attach. In Figure 22.11, the file is a PowerPoint presentation. Click the Insert button.

   Figure 22.11. Select the file to attach in the Insert File dialog box.

   

3. An Attach line now appears beneath the Subject line in the e-mail header (see Figure 22.12). Attach any additional documents to the message if you like, and then finish the remaining steps in "Composing and Sending an E-mail Message from Word" or "Sending a Word Document in the Body of an E-mail Message" to complete and send the message.

   Figure 22.12. The files you've attached to the message are listed in the Attach line.
