NOTE: If you are not experienced in sending attachments, it would be to your advantage to print this document.

You will be turning your assignments in to your instructor by sending them as attachments through e-mail. You will need to write your assignments in a word processing program (preferably Microsoft Word 6.0 or higher if possible). You will NOT be able to copy and paste your assignments into e-mail, because you will lose important formatting that the document contains such as italicizing or underlining, centering, etc.

Use the following directions to send an attachment using Netscape Messenger Express:

• Write your assignment in Microsoft Word and save it to your disk in the A drive or on your hard drive if working from home. NOTE: If you are using another word processing program such as Works or Word Perfect, be sure to save your document as a Microsoft Word document before sending it to your instructor.
