Welcome to the land of the IT apprentices. Know how to do what you ask, but have just asked Mick in a PM how to attach a file photo loaded down from an E-mail to my Explorer into a post on here. Their prompts are all double dutch to me. 'Aint it confusing ????

emmatjackson · 04-02-2006, 22:35

Very. I think i did it. If I havent and i have balls it up i wont be getting that job. It was a cv. ha

OK .. not the best person in the world , but do understand you will wish this to be in simple English .. not all IT bods know how to speak this :-

New E-mail,
Who you want to send it to.
Subject.
(All the usual stuff so far),

Tool bar at top ... says 'Insert'
Press File attachment.
Do the drop down at the top to find where you have put your picture .. could be in 'my pictures' ( this only you know)
When you find the correct picture in this file press 'attach' and bingo should be attached to your E-mail.

Hope it works, as will be my first success at telling some one how to do something on this technological wonder.

Yeah I have kinda done that but when it as attached all it does is show a paperclip and what ur document is called. I would av thought it would have shown you or be able to show you what ur actually posting.

no it will only show what file you have attached. If you want to check if it has worked ok, try sending it to yourself first and see if the attachment opens ok.

If you want something to show in the body of the e-mail then you will have to copy and paste it into the message

emmatjackson · 04-02-2006, 22:51

ohh right. Should have thought of sending it to myself.

katex · 04-02-2006, 23:03

Good idea Red .. from 'Me to me' so to speak.

katex · 04-02-2006, 23:06

Could just open it though to check I suppose on yer E-mail by clicking on the clip before you send it...

katex · 04-02-2006, 23:08

Oh shucks, ignore the word 'by' .. bacardi and coke gettin' at me.

emmatjackson · 04-02-2006, 23:17

I sent to myself now it looks fine. Cheers everyone.
