Submitting Assignments by E-Mail Attachment
Important: Although regular e-mail is suitable for correspondence
and informal submissions to your professors, formal papers should be submitted
as e-mail attachments to preserve your word processor's formatting.
Whenever you are submitting assignment electronically, you should
-
Retain electronic copies of your work in at least two separate
places, e.g., on your hard drive and on some portable medium.
-
Use the feature on your e-mail program that requests notification when the e-mail is delivered.
-
Send a copy of the e-mail to yourself, and check immediately to
see that the attachment was transmitted properly and that it is the attachment you meant to send.
Creating an Attachment:
-
Complete your work as you ordinarily would using your word processing
software. Give it a specific and descriptive name so that you won't confuse it with all the other files called "paper" on your hard drive.
-
If you are working in Word®,
save your work as you ordinarily would. If you are working in any other wordprocessing software, please save your work as a Word® file (*.doc or *.docx) or in Rich Text Format (*.rtf).
-
Open your e-mail program and address your e-mail.
-
Click on the Attachment command on the button bar or pull down menu.
-
Browse to the file you just saved and click to attach.
-
Click Send.
