Attach a file

You can attach any type of file that is accessible from your computer or through your network to any Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access item. You can also remove attachments from an item.

To attach a file to an e-mail message or other Outlook Web Access item:

1. When creating your message, appointment, or contact, click Add an Attachment on the toolbar.
2. Under Choose a file to attach, type the path to the file, or click Browse to locate the file.
3. Click Attach and the file will appear under Current file attachments. Repeat steps 1-3 for each additional file you want to attach.
4. To return to the form you were working in, click Go Back to Message on the toolbar. The files you selected now appear in the heading, next to Attachments.

To remove one or more attachments from a message:

1. To access an attachment if it isn't already open, click Add an Attachment on the toolbar.
2. Under Current file attachments, select the check boxes next to the files you want to remove.
3. Click Remove.

Tip  Attachments aren't copied when you reply to a message. Instead, a placeholder icon appears in place of the file. To include attachments, forward the message instead of replying to it.

Important  Before editing attached files you must download them to your computer. For help downloading files, see the Web browser documentation.
