This explain some of the steps in the links above if they are not exactly clear to you. Click on the PAPER CLIP just below the subject line when in the NEW...REPLY...FORWARD mode. (Older format) In the Newest format the Paper Clip is located at the bottom of the email...You sometimes have to scroll WAY down to see it. This will bring up the FILE UPLOAD screen. You will see in the LOOK IN box a location with all its contents below it. If what you want to attach is not located there then click on the down arrow on the right side of this box and it will bring up other locations..IE: MY RECENT DOCUMENTS, DESKTOP, MY DOCUMENTS, etc. Click on them one at a time until you find what you want to attach in the contents below. Once you find it click on it and it will go to the FILE NAME box near the bottom of the screen. Click on SAVE which places it below the ICON bar at the top of your text area....Click on the LINK again to attach additional files/photos. Be careful not to exceed the 25 mb limit.

Now...if you cannot locate it do this.... we have to get what you want to attach to your DESKTOP. RIGHT clicking on those items usually pops up a box and gives you the option of where to send it...I send it to the DESKTOP. You will get an icon for it, which you can delete by right clicking on it after you are done. Sometimes when you RIGHT click on whatever you want to move to the DESKTOP you have to click on SAVE LINK AS....If it is an email that you have opened you can click on SAVE IMAGE AS.... When the next box is displayed and DESKTOP is not in the LOOK IN box at the top click on the arrow on the right side of this box and DESKTOP will be an option. Click on it to place it in the LOOK IN box. The item you want should already be in the FILE NAME box at the bottom. If it is not find it in the list below and click on it. That will place it in the FILE NAME box. When you click on SAVE you will now have the ICON on your DESKTOP. If you want to delete this icon after you are done RIGHT click on it and that option will be available NOTE; If what you want is downloaded in some other location already that location will also be available by clicking on the down arrow to the right of the LOOK IN box... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++...
