Make sure the company accepts resumes as Word attachments -- some don't accept them at all, and some accept only plain text. 1. Save your resume and REMEMBER the folder and filename you used. 2. Open your e-mail program and start a new outgoing message. 3. Use your program's "attach" command. (Many programs have a paper clip to click on. If you don't see one, look in the drop-down menus for an Attach or Attachment command.) 4. Type your message ("cover letter") normally. 5. In the dialog box that opens, navigate to the folder that contains your document, select the document, and click "Attach" or "Open" or "OK" as appropriate. 6. Make sure to put your own e-mail address on the CC line before you send the mail, so you'll get a copy of what the company sees. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com/ "If there's one thing I know, it's men.

The size is not so much the issue as the layout. If you want to produce a
formatted document then really PDF is the only approach. Many companies will reject document attachments out of hand. Some companies reject all attachments. The surest policy is to enter the information as plain text in the body of a plain text e-mail, unless an alternative is specifically requested. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Stan Brown wrote: In article , Philip Diller favored us with...
