HOW TO CREATE AN E-MAIL ATTACHMENT

	Create your paper in MicrosoftWord as you would normally do.
	Save the paper (file) to your hard drive ( drive "C" usually in "my documents") or to a disk (usually your A drive, 3 1/2 floppy).
	Open your e-mail program.
	Create a new message to your Instructor (charles.hammersley@nau. edu or judith.hammersley@nau.edu).
	Somewhere in your e-mail program is "Attach file to new message" or something like it. Different e-mail programs use different wording.
	Click on the attach command.
	A box will appear and ask for the file name. You can select it from drive "C" , my documents, or the "A" drive if you saved your paper to that drive, or where ever you saved the file.
	That's all there is to it. The paper is now attached to the e-mail so just hit the Send button.
