- 1). Open your word processor. On a PC computer, do this by going to the Start button in the lower left-hand corner, clicking on "Programs" and clicking on "Microsoft Word." On a Mac, do this by going to your Dock and clicking on the Microsoft Word icon.
- 2). Select a blank worksheet. Drag the pointer to the worksheet with the mouse and click on the top left corner of the worksheet where you will begin typing. Wait for the blinking cursor. Enter desired text.
- 3). Format text on the toolbar at the top of the document. Italicize, bold and underline text. Change the font or the size of the font.
- 4). Save your document with a name that's easy to remember. Save it in a location that you can easily find, such as your desktop.
- 5). Access your email over the Internet. Log in to your email and select "Compose New Message."
- 6). Look for a link that says Attach a File, Attachments or a similar variation. All email providers will have a different way of naming this feature.
- 7). Upload your file. Remember where you saved the file on your computer, select it and press "OK."
- 8). Watch the email message for a signal that the file was uploaded completely. Some email providers will show upload progress and/or display a check mark when the file has been loaded. If you send the email before the attachment loads, it may not appear in the receiver's email.
- 9). Press "Send." Check for confirmation that your message was sent. Press "View Message" afterward to make sure the file was properly attached.
