"some of the files could not be found"

The same is true for Excel files..must be closed before attaching and sending
via email.

Thank you one and all. I was starting to feel really frustrated (and stupid!)
Whoever suggested a little pop-up telling you to close your files, gets a
gold star.

Thank you for the advice. I was having the same trouble and thought that my
flash drive was going bad since I stored my document there. I closed it and
then attached it. It worked! Thank you again!!!!

Has anyone answered this question yet? In order to attach files, I am having
to use hotmail instead of Windows Mail.

Just make sure the file you are trying to attach is not in use by some
other program, like Word.

That worked, I closed the opened Word file I was trying to email, and was
sent, but the pop up message could have made it easier by telling me this was
the problem.

Thank you soooooooooooo much. I was driving myself crazy wondering why
the document wasn't attached to my email every time I sent it out till I read
your post. Figures Microsoft didn't help. That's why they refer you to
"communities" to find out what you need to know!

Make sure you do not have that document open in Word.
You can't attach something that is in use elsewhere.
