It's easy to get confused about how to attach something to an email... you know how to write and send a message to someone but as soon as they utter those dreaded words "can you attach it for me please" you're totally lost!!  Hopefully this tutorial will make things a little clearer for you and show you what you need to do  :o)

Okey dokes, first things first - open up Outlook Express and wait until it's done it's thing.

Now we need to start a new message so go up to File and down to New and across to New Message

Your new email will appear in front of you ready to write and address

When you've finished writing and addressing your email, we're ready to attach whatever you'd like to your email.

You should have a button on your title bar that says Attach that's got a big blue paperclip over it - click on that button

**If you don't have that button on your title bar, there's another way to do it.  Go up to the Image menu and down to File Attachment...

There will be a pop-up box that has come up now... navigate to wherever the file is that you want to attach in the top drop-down box

Now single left click on the file that you want to attach to highlight it, then hit the "attach" button

Your email message should now look something like this:

The icon next to your filename may look different depending on the document type and the version of the software you are using but everything else will be the same.

Now just hit the Send button and there you go!  You've just attached your first file to an email!  :o)
