Instructions

Things You'll Need:

   Have the Word document ready. It should be saved in your computer or in any external drive. Make sure that the file size is within the file attachment limit in the email service you are going to use. Yahoo! Mail only allows 10MB, same as Hotmail. Gmail, however, supports file attachment up to 20MB. These are just some of the most popular free online email services today.

   Compose a new email and type your message. After you are done writing your message, put a subject, then click the Attach button. The attachment dialog box will be displayed.

   Locate the Word document you are going to send. Once you find the file, click the Open button. Your file will be attached in the email. To know that it is already attached, you will notice the Word document filename together with a paper clip icon on the bottom of your email subject.

   Click Send button to send the email to the recipient. A confirmation message will be displayed afterwards.
