Attaching a file to an email

Attaching a file to an email

One you have logged into your email account you will need to create a new email. The option to do this will look different depending on the email service you use. In this case I’ll be using Hotmail.

Once you have created a new email, type the email address you wish to send the attachment to in the ‘To’ box. If you wish to add a subject enter that in the box below.

 

To attach the selected file you need to click on the ‘Attachments’ button. This can be found below the ‘subject’ box under the ‘Insert’ heading.

Once you have selected the attachments button, you will be presented with this screen:

Once you have found and selected your file, click the ‘open’ button and your file will attach to your email, this may take a while depending on the size of the file and the speed of your Internet. You will see a loading bar next to the attachment, which will show you the progress of your upload. Once this has disappeared it will say ‘done’ and your email will be ready to send. If you wish to add text to your email write it in the text box below and then send your email.
