Kimber, You've done a much better job than I at following this thread. I wonder if it's possible for you, or anyone else, to complete a list of attachment methods. Here's a start, based on what I do (which seems similar to what you do):
1. When sending a message: Attach a file by copying from a files list with control-c and pasting into the message field of an email with control-v. 2. When sending a message: What is the best method for attaching several files? 3. With a received message: To locate an attachment above the message field, press shift-tab, then use the arrow keys to locate each attachment. (As Caroline says, the first attachment is some obscure thing for techies only.) 4. With a received message: To locate an attachment when there are three or more above the message field: This can involve a lot of trial-and-error arrowing. What is the best solution? 5. With a received message: To locate an attachment within the message field: I find insert-a often isolates it. Any better method, or an alternative for when insert-a doesn't work? -----Original Message----- From: Kimber Gardner [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, January 20, 2016 7:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Attachments in "rich text" messages under Microsoft Outlook 2013 The "insert tab method" is the same as the keystrokes N A F as described by Carolyn. It isn't my favorite method, but it works well enough if, as you said, the files to be attached are not spread far and wide throughout the system. I suppose which method you choose has a lot to do with the comfort level of the person creating the attachments. For me, copy and paste has always been the most straightforward way to attach files and so is the one I most often choose.
