"In my job...

• I'm often asked for documents by managers, colleagues, learners, administrators, awarding bodies etc. or
• I come across some text I'd like to share with one or more of the above.

Using Outlook 2007, is there a quick way that I can Insert Attachments and/or copied Text into a New Message"

Like you, everyone who uses email has found themselves attaching files to email, or needing to send a copied text to others. Outlook makes it ultra simple to send either in no time flat.

To attach files:

1. Copy the file(s) from your Desktop, Documents folder, etc. (select the files and press CTRL+C).
2. Go to Outlook, make sure it is displaying your Inbox.
3. Press CTRL+V.
4. A New Message will appear, with the file(s) attached to it.
   A single attachment will have the file's name as the Subject -
   Multiple attachments will leave the Subject line blank.
5. Address the message and add any necessary text.
6. Send the message.

To insert copied text:

1. Copy the desired text from a document, webpage, etc. (select the text and press CTRL+C).
2. Go to Outlook, make sure it is displaying your Inbox.
3. Press CTRL+V.
4. A New Message will appear, with the copied text inserted into the body of the message.
5. Address the message, input a Subject and add any necessary text.
6. Send the message.

Note: Before a number of you email, another quick way is use a simple drag and drop in Outlook.
