How do I send an e-mail attachment?
STEP 1
1. Create a new document using a word processor (MSWord, WordPerfect,
MSWorks, etc.).
2. In the document, type the following: "I have successfully accessed
Module 1!"
3. Save the document using the filename "attach".
NOTE: FGCU professors use MS Word in their offices. If you are not
using MS Word, you may want to save your document in a format of "Rich
Text", "Text file", or "Word file", so that your professor can open the
attachment from you.
STEP 2
1. Use your e-mail program to compose a new e-mail message (See the
above instruction).
2. Address your e-mail to your instructor's e-mail address (e.g., jsmith@fgcu.edu)
3. In the Subject field type "Orientation Attachment"
4. Attach the document called "attach". The attachment option is often
labeled by a paper clip icon, or may simply be labeled "Attachment".
After clicking on the attachment icon, you will be asked to select the
file you want to attach to the email.
5. Type your name at the bottom of your e-mail!
6. Click on the SEND button/icon. The email and the attachment will
be sent to the addressee.
