Outlook Email: Quickly Attach a file to an email

(This applies to Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2003)

Ooops!
Have you ever sent an email and forgot to attach the file?
I know I have. If we change the order in which we handle this simple task we can save critical minutes and hours each month.

Fewer Clicks Saves Time
Most of us start with opening a blank email message, type in the recipient, the subject and maybe even the body of the email before we attach our file. Then we click on Insert, Attach, and locate our file within a few more clicks.

Streamline attaching files to emails...
When you are looking at your list of files (i.e. My Documents or your Desk Top) to attach a file to an email follow these 3 steps:

1. Simply Right click on the file you wish to attach to an email
2. Scroll to "Send To"
3. Select "Mail Recipient"

Boom! A new message opens up with the file attached.

"GADZOOKS! that was easy Jeff".

Hey look at the Subject line...it has the file name already listed in it too.

AND look at this...

"The message is ready to be sent with the following file or link attachments:
(File Name here)"

This is automatically inserted into the body of the email.

Just type your message and send!
