I have some documents I want to send by email I started writing them in Wordpad, and saving to My Documents. It is in sections. All together I have 60KB to send.
I would if possible like to send it in one go, rather that copy and past a page to email seperately. As it will need changing where I am sending, I didn't want to get it printed off.
Is there a way I can do this in one go like an attachemnt?. Sorry for my ignorance. I have sent a page before like that, as attachment
I have Internet Exployer 8 and using Windows xp I also using BT. Yahoo

you can send multiple attachments with one email. look for the paper clip icon maybe in your composer. attach them one by one.
So it's one attachment containing several documents
You can't send the folder (without compressing) as created as it would appear to the recipient as a .lnk (link) which only exists on your PC
Yes thanks, I was just hoping to send it all together in one go
You simply do whatever you need to do to attach a file to a message but instead of clicking on a single file you select all the files you need (press and hold Ctrl and click on each file to highlight them) then click OK and they should all appear listed in the attachments bar on the message.
And your recipient should get a single e-mail with all the files attached.
7-zip is open source/freeware and is here (you and the other person will need it, it's a doddle to install): http://www.7-zip.org/
It 's 60 KB I clicked on it. I wanted to know in advance, as I'am still working on the documents, for another week or so.
The person I'am going to send it to said , when I sent them an attached file the other week, they said they couldn't use Rich Text Document, and asked me next time to send PDF. I am now really confused.
If anyone can help and give very simple directions, I'am still learning.
Most have a limit of like 10 or 20mb worth of attachments per e-mail.
Be careful when you download that you don't download any toolbars or any other software that may be offered at the same time.

Just out of interest what do you mean when you say the document is in sections?
Thanks evil c will that use a lot of memory. My laptop only has 1GB, as I dont use it for downloading music or films.
I've no MS word.
Sorry I was just worrying about my laptop slowing down, as I installed a while back Google Chrome.by accident, and it seemed slower. Please excuse my knowledge of computers. I would get a minus g. in exams:D
Do you still have Chrome or did you uninstall it?
I agree with you about the studying part.
I have 32.2 GB on my hard disk. I uninstalled Chrome.
If you don't already have it then CCleaner is ideal for this: http://ccleaner.softm8.com/

In which case don't worry about it. Word documents take up about 10-15k per page (as long as there are no big embedded images). You'd have to get up to thousands of pages before you had a problem with size limits - and even then you could zip it up as Word documents compress down well
However it should be noted that only the programs that are running use that memory. So it doesn't matter how many things you install.
But if you're using Wordpad, I would at least recommend switching to Google Docs or the Microsoft Office online version. You don't need to download anything, do it all through the browser.
I'm not sure that you don't have enough ram and stop using wordpad use something that requires more ram as pieces of advice are natural bedfellows.
Thanks again
