Hello Kate,
I think that you probably meant that you have Outlook 2010. If you are using a different Email program then you will need different steps than those given below. 1. When the cursor is in the message you are creating, use Alt followed by N followed by A followed by F. The Alt followed by N takes focus to the insert tab. The a followed by F stands for attach file. 2. The files of type should be set for all files, but you can use tab key one time in the Insert File dialog box that comes up after using the above mentioned key sequence if you want to make sure. If the selection in the Files of Type list is not All Files then use up arrow key until All Files is selected. 3. Use shift+tab twice from the File Name edit box or three times from the Files of Type list to find the list view for the open folder. 4. Use first letter navigation or use up or down arrow keys in the list view to find the file you want if it is in the open folder. 5. If the file you want to attach is not in the open list then use shift+tab until you find the tree view. 6. You can use left arrow key in the tree view until Libraries is the open level. If you hear that Libraries is closed then use right arrow key to open that level. If you are attaching a file from the home group or another network then you can leave Libraries closed and use down arrow key until you find your choice. Otherwise, use right arrow key to open the Libraries selection. 7. Work through the tree level by using down arrow key to a level and opening the one you want with right arrow key. Use down arrow key in open levels to subfolders and open the one you want with right arrow key. For example, if you are wanting to attach a music file, you can use left arrow in the tree view until you hear that Libraries is open. Use down arrow key to the Music Library and press enter to set it. Pressing enter is important if you want to pick My Music as the subfolder. If you open the Music level with right arrow key and don't press enter key then the first subfolders shown will be those that alphabetically appear before the My Music selection. After pressing enter on the Music choice, you use right arrow to the My Music choice and use right arrow to open it. You then press enter key on that selection to set it as the final folder to open. Of course, you can do the same method to find a document in the My Documents Folder. You would start by opening Libraries, using down arrow to the Documents library, Pressing enter to set it, using right arrow key to open the level, and then down arrow key to the My Documents folder. Use right arrow key to open it and then enter to set it. 8. Use tab key until you are back in the list view, which should show files from the folder you just opened. 9. Use first letter navigation or up and down arrow keys to find the file to attach and press enter key to attach it. 10. The Insert File dialog box also has a search box that you can use to find a file with a certain word in the name. You can move to it by using CTRL+E when the cursor is in the Attach File dialog box. Type in a search term and then tab to the list of results. If the file is not in the list of results, use down arrow key in the results list or press the end key to move to the bottom of the list and then down arrow key to find the buttons. You will find buttons for doing the same search in other libraries. For example, if you search for a music file in the My Documents folder, there might not be any results or at least very few. Tab to find the list of results and then use down arrow key or press the end key followed by the down arrow key to find buttons. Use right and left arrow keys to move between the available buttons. find the button for Music then press enter key and the search will be done in the Music library. You can then use up or down arrow keys in the results list and find your file to attach. Press enter key on the file to be attached to your message. 11. You can use Alt+S to send the message. If you are not using Outlook 2010 and need different info then please post again. Take care.
