Sending an attachment

The drop-down menu for sending an attachment in Outlook has moved. Now you can find it by clicking Message at the top.

One bit of good news is that the change to French was only for this document, not for everything I write. If this happens to you, here is your way out of the woods: Look in the lower left of your screen. You will see the page count, the word count, and the proofing language. Click the proofing language. A new window titled Language should pop up, with hundreds of language choices. You need to do two things. The obvious one is to choose the language you really want for the re...
