[Magdalen] help emailing a word document

[Lynn Ronkainen]

my bad... I *never* use computer lingo properly...

I attached a word document to the email by clicking on 'attach' in the email 
header and then finding the document and 'opening' it which attached it as a 
MS Word document to the outgoing email.
