This is a tip for Microsoft Office and Outlook users. We will show you how you can send attachments with your e-mail client Microsoft Outlook. Besides the text that you enter in the message body field while sending e-mail, you can add an attachment in that same e-mail. It can be one or more files of any format. You must have in mind that larger documents take more time to be sent. Here is detailed overview of three ways of sending attachment with Outlook.

First way is to open Outlook (or any other e-mail client) click on File-New-Mail message, and then click on the staple icon. Using the Browse option you can choose local file that you wish to send, and clicking on the option Attach file that file will be added to your message.
