How-To Insert an Attachment in Microsoft Outlook

Open Microsoft Outlook.

Click on the icon that looks like a letter and is titled "New". This will open up a new blank email message.

Click on the icon that looks like a paper clip.

This brings up a new window that allows you to browse your computer for the file(s) that you would like to attach to the email.

Locate the file that you would like to attach, and double click that file. This will insert a copy of your file into the email. If you have more files to attach to this email, you can click on the paper clip icon again and insert another file into this same email. This can be repeated for as many files as you would like to include.

Enter the text that you would like in the subject line and the body of the email, and address the email to the recipient(s) and this email is ready for you to click the "Send" button for the email to be sent to the recipient.

Helpful Hint: Many internet service providers (ISP) have limitations on the maximum file size that an email can be. This size varied, but a good rule of thumb is not to exceed 3 megabyte's (MB) in size.
