5. Type something in the Message area.
6. Now attach your file. In this example we will attach a Word document entitled ball.jpg.
• Click on the Browse... button found next to the Attachments header.
• The next window shows the files on your computer. Find the file you wish to attach and double-click the file name or single-click it and click Open.
• The filename will now appear in the textbox next to the Attachments header.

  

• IMPORTANT NOTE: Click the Attach file button to actually attach the file. Once you see the file listed below the textbox you know it is actually attached.
