Sending an Email Attachment

Here’s how to send an email attachment from your campus Outlook 365 account.

1. If you made the file in either Google Docs or Apple Pages, you need to begin by downloading a Microsoft Word file to your computer.
2. Open your Office.com account (the one you use to read email).
3. Click  New Mail  in the upper left.
4. Fill in all the usual stuff to send an email. (Do give a subject!)
5. Find the paper clip in the area just above your own email address. Click the little down arrow ∨
• If you made your file with Google Docs, Apple Pages, or LibreOffice, click Browse this computer. (NOTE: If you made your file with Google Docs, you must follow the instructions in this link to download a file you can send!)
6. Use the window that opens to find your file and select it.
7. Click  Open 
8. Go back to your email message, finish it, and click  Send
