How can I attach a document to an iCal event invitation?

I tried doing some research on this and tried the "Help" part of iCal. The option given there said
Attach a file to an event
If you want to associate a particular file with an event (for example, a document you need to remember to take to an appointment), you can attach it directly to the event in iCal so it’s easy to remember and find when you need it. You can also share meeting materials with others by attaching them to event invitations.
In iCal, double-click the event. If the event editor isn’t open, click Edit to open it.Open iCal
Drag the file you want over the open event editor.You can also click Add File next to “attachments,” navigate to the file you want, and then click Open. The file appears in the “attachments” field.
If the “Allow Invitees to Manage Files” checkbox is available and you want to allow invitees to add or remove files from the event invitation, select the checkbox.Only the meeting organizer can select or deselect the checkbox.
To remove a file that you attached to an event, select it, and then press the Delete key.
To remove a file that you attached to an event, select it, and then press the Delete key.
iCal allows you to see a preview of any file attached to an event. To see a preview, select the file in the “attachments” field, and then press the Space bar. Click the Close (x) button in the top-left corner of the preview window to close it.
The problem is there is no Add File or attachments. I am using the iCloud based iCal and running latest update on Lion. Can anyone help me with this problem?

You need to start in the app that contains/owns the document, and then use that app to select the document and send/switch into the Mail app. You can't start in the Mail app as it doesn't have an attach facility

Hi;
I am not sure what you mean by the answering email form, can you describe a bit more what you are looking to do? Do you mean the "Email Receipt" that you can set up so the form filler receives an email after submitting their form?
Thanks,

How can I attach a document saved in my iCloud to a web based outlook email on my IPad?

How can I attach a document saved in my iCloud to a web based outlook email on my IPad?

Thanks Nik and Roger. I think we've all come to the same realization: the new Pages will not attach documents to e-mail without going through Cloud. If you don't want to give your files to Apple to keep in its Cloud (which I assume the NSA has access to through a back door), then you can't use the new Pages.
If, like me, you downloaded the new Pages and used it to work on a document, before realizing you couldn't attach it to e-mail, then when you saved that document it was saved in the new Pages. If you later delete the new Pages (as I did) and go back to using an older version (which you can find in your iWorks file on your hard drive), then you discover that the older version of Pages won't open a document that you worked on and saved with the new Pages.
Nik and Roger have found the solution, if you keep the new Pages. If you delete the new Pages (as I did) then I had to accept the loss of any work I did on my documents using the new Pages, and began over using the latest version of my document that I had saved with the older Pages.
All in all, this has really soured my tase for Apple. If I hadn't recently bought a new MacBook Pro, I'd be switching to a PC now. I refuse to let Apple bully me into using their Cloud.

How can i attach a document to a specific material revision level ?

Dear guru.
I manage a material with revision level.
I need to attach a specific document , created using DMS , for every revision level of this material.
How can I do that ?
Thanks.

Hi Cris,
This cannot be achieved through std process.
Alternate way is, As soon as you create material with different revisions better to create document with material no as document no with different versions.
In SPRO->Document Management->Define document types->Define Object links,for object MARA set document version as 1:Default:current version ,so that whenever you view material in MM02/MM03 of different version you can see document with current version only.

Bhanu

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 can I attach a document?

I created a WORD doc and sent it to myself through email. Is there a way to save it to my iPad2 and attach it when sending an email?

If you want to save it on the iPad then you need an app on the iPad that supports Word documents (e.g. Pages, Documents To Go, QuickOffice, and for read only GoodReader) - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app.
Once you've got an app that supports word, you should be able to save the document to that app (by tapping on the attachment in Mail and selecting 'open in' ), and you should then be able to use that app to select the file and attach it to a new email (assuming that the app supports email).

You tagged onto an older post. If you want an answer to your specific question, you need to create a new post. By creating a new post, you will receive emails when helpers post responses.

How can I attach j-pegs and other documents to an email unopened and stop each them taking up a whole page of my email ?

How can I attach j-pegs and other documents to an email unopened and stop each them taking up a whole page of my email ?

In addition to the last poster's suggestion - just so you know, it also depends on the email program the recipient uses as to how they will see any attachments - for instance, when I am using my Yahoo Mail, I am absolutely unable to view any attachment within the browser window - Yahoo forces me to download it; there is no way for me to check it (like a preview) to see if I want to download it or not.
And, FWIW: the window shown in the screenshot does not show on my version of Mail 5.1 (which is the latest for 10.7.2); the only one similar shows when viewing a message received with an attachment, not while sending one. So that must be a different version.

How can I attach a PDF in an email, using javascript in PDF document?

How can I attach a PDF in an email, using an interactive button in the PDF-document?
I tried to create a form button with the menu action 'attach this PDF in an email'.
This Send.to-action doesn't work with Microsoft.
Does anyone has a solution by implementing a javascript-code for this in the PDF?

Dick,
Thanks for your replie.
Nice alternative, but it still doesn't work on a Windows machine when the
mail software from Microsoft doesn't react on PDF actions.
You can do many things in Acrobat, but it is a problem when it doesn't work
on Windows and iPad.
So now I am looking for alternatives like interactive magazine software
(based on html5).

What language do you speak?
When was it "The inspector never did open."?
If you have deleted the document what was there to work with?
You create a document then go to:
Inspector > Document > Document > check Require password to open > fill in Password details > Set Password
Then when you go to open the document (after you close it) it will ask you for the password.

I used to be able to attach a document to an iCal entry. After the latest update, it appears this option has been removed. How can I add an attachment now? Thanks!

Hi Dan,
Yes, iCal 4.0.4 (1395.7). In edit mode, the 'attachments' option is between 'Invitees' and 'URL' (see below). As I said this is for calendars under On My Mac, I suspect you are not seeing this as your event is on MobileMe.
Best wishes
