Attachments in Outlook!

In Outlook, attachments are files that you can add to an email message to send along with the message. Here's how to add and manage attachments in Outlook:

Adding Attachments

  1. Compose a new email message or reply to an existing one.
  2. Click on the "Attach File" button in the "Message" tab of the ribbon.
  3. Browse to the location of the file you want to attach and select it.
  4. You can also drag and drop files from your computer into the email message.
  5. Repeat the process to add multiple attachments.

Managing Attachments

  1. To view the attachments in an email message, click on the "Attachments" button in the "Message" tab of the ribbon.
  2. You can also view attachments by clicking on the paperclip icon next to the attachment name in the email message.
  3. To remove an attachment, right-click on the attachment and select "Remove Attachment".
  4. To save an attachment to your computer, right-click on the attachment and select "Save As".
  5. You can also forward or reply to an email message with attachments, which will include the attachments in the new message.

Tips and Tricks

  1. Outlook has a file size limit for attachments, which is typically 20-25 MB. If you need to send larger files, consider using a file-sharing service or cloud storage like OneDrive or Google Drive.
  2. You can also use Outlook's built-in compression feature to reduce the size of attachments. To do this, go to "File" > "Options" > "Advanced" and check the box next to "Compress messages and attachments".
  3. If you're sending a large number of attachments, consider using a zip file or a compressed folder to reduce the number of files and make them easier to manage.
  4. Outlook also has a feature called "Attachments" that allows you to view and manage attachments in a separate window. To access this feature, go to "View" > "Attachments".
