Attaching saved documents to my email.

I am new to pages, using it on my recently purchased MacBook Pro. I am used to working with Word on my Mac. Wanted to send a saved pages document to my son for use at school, but when I tried to attach, the saved document title was grey, not black, and I couldn't click on it to open it to attach. Any thoughts? thanks.

Control-click the document in the Finder, compress or archive it, and attach the resulting zip. The recipient must have Pages or another application which can handle documents of that format; if not, perform a Save As or Export, and choose a format they can read.

Why can I not attach a document to an email? Every time I want to send an email with a document attached to it, an error notice pops out. It tell me that the file is being used even when it is not. How can I fix this issue?

Thanks Jeff, I was not aware that a template could be multi-page. (All the existing templates were 1 page)
But it worked, saving me some steps. When I was finished I renamed the document, and locked it.
Then tried to save it but could not because it was locked. I closed it, went to my Spread Sheet Folder ,
to find it, it was not there. The Finder could not find it either.
So I start over again.
I opened up Numbers and it showed my personal Numbers template folder, it contained both my new
original 4 page template and the vanished saved document!
I tried to delete the template containing these document data and could not - I had to go to the Library/Application Support/Numbers to physically remove it from this folder. Then I started over again. I Finally found out how to make it work: I can now "save as", and then lock, and it will go to place where I want it to be saved and locked.
The secret is: Click on the document title in the menu bar, and it opens up "Save as...", which works the same as in OS 10.4.11, and you can pick the place you want for saving. Once done that, you can then lock the document in the same pull down menu, and then close it.
I also found later that I can delete a template from its folder, by letting Numbers open the templates,
clicking on the one I want to remove, then go to the "Numbers Menu/File/Move to...", select "Desktop"
and from there the selected template can then be thrown into the Trash from there.
It appears now that the real fault of the Numbers software is that the "Save as" command is not available in the "Edit" or "File" pull-down menus, but hidden behind the title of the document.

How do I attach a document to Ipad email?

Thanks, but I had figured this out. Let us suppose you are replying to an email from the boss who, copying 50 Polish, Indian, Arab and Thai coworkers on their personal emails-- and with whom you have never previously communicated--has asked you to share with the group your latest drafts for the upcoming weekend top secret strategy session and now you want to attach something other than a photo, such as a slide presentation in ersatz PowerPoint, a draft marketing plan in fake word and the budget in pseudo excel? You are fly fishing in the pesos without access to a computer, only your trusty IPad which fortunately has the drafts you need and a wireless connection. Because this new initiative must fly under the company radar screen due to its sensitivity, you cannot use the corporate VPN and the attach docs are too chunky to be in anything but a series of three emails as you have no compression software.
What is most efficient way to execute? If it's to drive the two hours in the storm back to Santa Fe and use the local Kinko's, I am disappointed.

How do I attach a document to a email

I want to attach a document to my email, how do I do this.
Thanks

There is a whole lot you haven't told us ... what type of document (e.g., MS Word, Pages), is the document currently on the iPad, etc.
If you're talking about a Pages document, and you have Pages on your iPad, I believe there is a way to send it from Pages.
If the document is not currently on your iPad, you can email it to yourself, pick it up on iPad's email, and then forward it from there.

HT6065 How do I fix mail it self attaches my saved documents to new emails.

Why does mail do this... i have a new message from lets say Pottery Barn but when I open the email it is actually a saved document for my files from like 2008 or 2008. How do I fix this? This is only on my iMac as far as I know. If I open the same email on my iPhone 5S it is the correct email.

You'll have to pardon my ignorance of some computer terminology; I'm a retired manager and not a computer technician, hence my muddling up of client and server terminology.
Re your comment about Port 339: I did qualify this with (?). As I wrote, it all happened at lightining speed and the guy at the Genius Bar didn't bother explaining what he was doing. Port designation contained 3s and 9s to the best of my recollection.
That said, you seem to be spot on re setting up a 'dummy' client in Mail. I set it up as you suggested and I can send to and receive from this client without a problem. You appear to have identified the solution, notwithstanding the claims of the ISP's 'experts'.
The next problem I have now is sorting out my wife's mailbox that is so troublesome whenever I set it up on Mail.
All the other set-up advice to date yielded a similar result; inability to send from my account to her inbox. Perhaps deleting her details from the account altogether and setting them up again from scratch may be the solution and I shall try that in due course. The impediment that I have with this at the moment is that my ISP admits that it has 'a technical problem with its email servers' and some of its related web pages that prevent my doing this myself. I will have to go through the telephone 'help' line and ask the technician to set it up at their end on my instructions. This has some disadvantages in that I have to divulge the password to the account to the operator rather than keeping it anonymous by doing it on-line. You may have solved the problem, but until I can successfully sort out a working mailbox for my wife i cannot definitively say so.
Many thanks for your perseverance. You've made more sense than anyone else so far and that deserves some points, surely?

How can I attach a document to an email as an attachment that doesn't appear in the body of the text

When I send an email and attach a document it pastes it into the text. How do I send it as a separate attachment?

Control+Click or Right Click on the attachment within the body of the email and select 'view as icon'. Also make sure 'Send Windows-friendly attachments' is selected in Mail>Edit>Attachments menu.
There is a (paid for) plug in available called Attachment Tamer that will make this the default behaviour and generally help Mail to make attachments more compatible across computer platforms.

How to attach a document to an email without embedding it

When I attach a document or PDF to an email it automatically embeds itself - how do I make the attach?

If seeing the PDF embedded in the email bothers you, you can select it and right click it. Then select View as icon from the contextual menu. However this affects only your viewing. How the person/people who receive the email is not in your control.

Attaching a document to an email

How can I attach a document or a photo to an email I am sending?
Message was edited by: jfioramo

On the iPad, it's the exact opposite of how you do it on your laptop. Instead of starting an email and attaching a document to it, you start with the document (or photo) in an app like DocumentsToGo and select the doc you want to send, then you click in the email icon and construct/send your email. Not all apps have this functionality, so you have to select apps which have the email feature built in.
Logical? No, but go with it.

Attaching a document to an email message

I recently transferred by mistake (I intended ONLY to copy them) three documents to my cloud storage.
I'd like to know teo things:
1) How can I restore the documents to my MacBookPro;
2) If it is possible to attach these documents from the cloud to a mail message.
Thanks

You do not have to use Pages 5.
All the new iWork applications use an obscure and unparseable zipped bundle for a file format, that third party server software such as GMail, DropBox, Amazon etc do not understand.
You can zip the .pages document before attaching it to eMails but this is an inconvenience and removes all the supposed reasons for using it in the first place.
Pages '08/'09 is still in your Applications/iWork folder.

How do I attach a document to an email in Lumia 82...

I bought a Nokia Lumia about 2 weeks back, I received an email from the colleague but I cannot seem to find a way of attaching the requested word document to the reply.
Please help.

I don't think you can. This is how 800 works. You can attach a document, but not a pdf, but you have to go to the document and select "share" to email it out. You can't start the email and attach it.
If you're replying you're already in the email function so you will not be able to attach it. You'll have to send a new email by selecting the document first.
This is for win 7, possibly win 8 is different.
Same for WP8

Re: attaching a document to an email

i keep getting an error message that tells me the document i am trying to attach to an email is currently in use, that i need to close it, and retry. i can't find where it is in use, and i am unable to attach it to the email. what do i do? fyi, it was created on the same computer i am using, so i know it isn't in use on another computer.

If you edited the image recently using Preview, or iPhoto, or another photo image software, make sure and quit that software before trying to attach to an email.
You can see when the photo was lasted modified by right or control clicking the photo then click Get Info from the pop up menu.

How do i Attach a document to an email from iPad

How do I upload or attach a Word doc to an email, job posting etc ?

You cannot use a browser like Safari on your iPad to upload anything other than photos to a few locations. If you are planning to send a Word doc to a prospective employer you will have to send it attached to an email.
Presently there is no Microsoft Word application in the App Store. So you need a word processing app that opens and edits Word file. I use Apple Pages for this. When I open a Word doc in Pages it is converted to the Pages format. But when I email that doc I can choose to email the file as a Word doc.

Hotmail not allowing me to attach a document to an email, is this a hotmail issue, or a firefox, or virus protection setting problem

I try and attach anything, photo, pdf, Word doc, etc. and it will not attach. Therefore I cannot send anything other than a typed email -- those go fine. Just cannot attach anything to it. Maybe it's a security setting, I've checked most everything might say something like "do not allow attachments" etc. but haven't found anything to "uncheck".

What code are you using for those videos?
Are there any errors present in the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer)?

Did you make sure that Adblock Plus and NoScript aren't blocking content?
Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page (i.e. no authentication or signing on required)?
