How do I attach a word document to an email?

I want to attach my Microsoft word document in yahoo email and I need help?

• I want to attach a Microsoft word document in yahoo and send it VIA email. I have Microsoft word 2007 on my HP laptop. What do I save my Microsoft word document as? I know it's .doc, I believe. When I go to click on file and save, I'm not too sure on how to save my document. They don't list any of the save options as .doc. So what do I save my document under in order for me to send this document as an attachment in yahoo email? Please help me out! Thank you!

• Answer:

  If your document is open, click on Save As and choose 97-2003 Word Document from the drop list then select the folder you want to save it to (or you could even save it to your desktop for ease). Afterwards, close the document. Next open up a new email and select Attachments. Navigate to the location that you saved your document and select it. Note: Word documents usually need to be closed when manually attaching them to an email.
