Full Version: attaching a pages document to my email....
OpenSourcePhoto > YA wanna FIGHT! > Mac vs. Windows

I am not sure what my problem is here, or if it is Mac related, or related to my email provider.

A friend emailed me a pages document, and asked for some help on things. I made some changes, and I want to email it back to her. My personal email provider is att/yahoo. So, I open my email (hosted on the internet, not brought into my computer.) I choose "attach", and I can not attach the pages doc. I can attach any files on my computer that are windows based, such as a word doc, or a excel doc, but not the pages doc. I can also attach jpegs. But, the pages doc is kind of greyed out, like I can't choose it.

I do have a business email, but for some reason, her mail provider (Comcast) blocks all my emails from my business as Spam. (I have this with all emails to comcast customers, and I have contacted both comcast and my email provider, and they can not get anything to change...)

I just checked if I can attach it to my business email account also... and I can not attach it there either (even if I could send it to her.) So, I can't send it through my other provider either.

Does anyone know how I can send this to her?

Thanks!

Zip the pages file using the 'Compress' command in the context sensitive menu. Right click on the document to see the 'Compress ... ' menu item (Control-Click if you only have one mouse button.) Once it's a zip file you should have no problems attaching it to your message.

Best,

Jeff

Thanks Jeff! I think that worked! I attached the zip file, now I'll just check to make sure she got it. I appreciate it!
OSP is great!
