You can press the alt key and the letter I together, and that will take you to the insert menu. It works in both outlook and outlook express. Melissa R.

I can't always get my files to attach. I can send a file through just fine but ; then a little while later I can't get afile to attach even if I am sending it to the same person. Thanks lots in advance for any help. Rita----- Original Message ----- From: BobTo: bookshare volunteer discussion Sent: Friday, March 28, 2008 7:33 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] an alternative to the browse button Here's a tip for those having trouble finding or using the browse button on the upload page. It's a little involved, but when you are desperate this will work. First, there is a piece of software called pathcopy. You can download it free at http://freewarewiki.com/CopyPath On that webpage you can also get a better description of what pathcopy does. Essentially, though, you point to a file that you want to upload, press your applications key, select "pathcopy" then "copy long path" and hit enter. This will copy the full path of your file to the clipboard. Let's assume you've installed pathcopy and you have a book you want to upload and you've stored it somewhere on your computer. 1. Find the book using windows explorer or my computer. 2. Press the applications key which is the third key to the right of the spacebar. I'm not sure where it is on a laptop. You can also use a right mouse click to achieve the same thing. 3. Arrow down until you read "pathcopy submenu", and press the right arrow to open up the submenu. 4. You are presented with several formats to copy, the selection you want is "long path name". Press enter on "long path name". Though nothing seems to happen, in actuality, the full path of your book has been copied to the clipboard. You are returned to your windows explorer screen. 5. Using your favorite web browser, log on to the bookshare site and go to the upload page and select your book. 6. Tab to the edit box that should contain the filename and press control+v to paste the contents of your clipboard into this box. Don't forget to go into forms mode, or whatever your screen reader requires to allow you to input data before pressing control+v. 7. Tab to the upload button and press enter, and wait for the bookshare tools to do their job. Once you get used to it, I think you'll like using this method. I can get to the browse button, but feel just as comfortable using this method to enter a books full path. Hope this helps.
