Attaching or Including Files
You can also
create an ASCII
text file using Text
File Editor (see
Book2).
It is often useful to attach a/'de (for example, a Word Processing document)
to an email. But to open the file, the recipient must have the same word
processing program. If your recipient does not have the program, export the
f'de to a format that another program can read. The most common format is
ASCII, which is also called a text file. Most word processing programs and
text editors can open ASCII files and import them into other word processing
programs.
You can also create
an email message in
Word Processing.or
in Text File Editor
and then copy and
paste the text into
the message
window. See page
111.
