I'll add a couple of bits to Carolyn's absolutely correct offering (just noting, I teach Shift+TAB to get from the message body to the attachment row since it's fewer keystrokes). Once you are in the attachment row you use left or right arrow to move among the attachments if there are more than one. If you hit Enter when you're sitting on a given attachment the appropriate program for handling that attachment will fire up and the attachment is opened up in the program. If you don't want to actually open it, but save it, hit ALT+JA+AV and the Save As dialog appears. If you want to save all the attachments if you've been looking through the attachment row, you can use ALT+JA+AA to bring up the Save Attachments dialog. If you don't want to actually look at the content of the attachments at that very moment, but just want to save them, you don't even have to open the message. You can simply hit ALT+F,M from the Inbox to bring up the Save Attachments dialog for the message you're currently focused on. There are now so many options in the office programs that there are many instances where the ALT key is followed immediately by 2 typed characters instead of a single one to bring up a given sub-ribbon, dialog box, etc. Brian
