Attaching files to an email is a relatively simple process. Most email programs, such as Outlook and Gmail, provide users with the ability to attach files such as documents, photos, and spreadsheets to an email message.
For Outlook:
1. Open Outlook and begin composing a new email. Enter the recipient’s address and the subject line, then type the body of your message.
2. To attach a file to your email, click on the “Attach File” icon in the email composition window. An “Insert File” dialog box will appear.
3. Locate the file you want to attach on your computer. When you have found it, double-click on it or highlight it and click “Open.” The file will now be attached to your email.
4. If you would like to attach more than one file, you can repeat the previous steps until all desired files are attached. You can also drag and drop files from your computer directly into the email composition window.
5. After all desired files have been attached to your email, click the “Send” button at the top of the email composition window. Your message, along with its attachments, will be sent to the intended recipient.
