In this lecture, we're going to learn all about working with attachments. The first thing I want to go over is showing you how to attach files to email messages. So first, let's compose an email message, we'll make sure we're in our email app, we'll go to the home and click new email from the new group. We'll fill in our information. And I'm just going to send this to myself so that I can work on the attachments from there. Once you have your email message composed, we're going to come over to the include group on the message tab, and we're going to click Attach File.

When you do that, it's going to give you a list of recent items and the ability to browse the document I want to attach as part of my recent items. So I'm going to click it from here, but if yours isn't, all you need to do is click the Browse this PC and explore out to where your document is. So I'm going to click one email attachment. You'll see that it attaches it here and now I'm ready to send. Now one thing to keep in mind when Sending documents out. The documents do contain metadata.

So if you're concerned about the metadata information that may being contained within your documents, you may want to get a metadata scrubber or go into Word and actually remove the metadata from there or whatever program you're working with. So let's go ahead and click Send. You'll see it's sending my message out. And now I've got my message. This is my notification for my message. So I'm going to go ahead and click on it and it's going to open up my email.

Once I opened the email, you'll see I've got my email attachment here. Now from here if I wanted to, I could click on the attachment to preview it. I can double click the attachment to open it within its related program. And from here if I wanted to, I could do File Save and save it to my system. We'll go back to our email. From here I can also do a Save as or save all attachments.

If there are multiple attachments. Let's close out of that. This. And let's go back to our inbox. Once I go to my inbox, you'll see the messages here as well. And I can do the same thing from here.

If I click on the attachment, it's going to give me the preview of it, I can come up to the actions group, and I can choose Save As to save the attachment to my system. I can do a quick print from here as well, and also open. So if I click Quick Print, it's going to give me a warning that I should only open attachments from a trustworthy source. And this is to me so I'm going to tell it to go ahead and open it. And now it's printing it. You'll notice it opened it just enough so that it could print the document because I didn't tell it to open the document.

I told it to print the document so it opens prints and closes the document. So those are the basic options that are available to you when working with attachments.
