Sending your paper via email.

Method 1: in-text

  1. open word processor document of your paper.
  2. control-a (to select all)
  3. control-c (to copy to clipboard)
  4. open a new email message
  5. control-v (to paste clipboard - make sure your cursor is in the message portion)

NOTE: if possible, PLEASE send long assignments as RTF (rich text format) if using method 1. If you're able to specify bold, italics, font size, etc., then it's rtf. If you can't, please use method 2 when submitting long assignments.

  3. click browse (if necessary) and navigate to your paper file on your computer.
  4. double click paper file (or single click and press "attach" or similar word).
  5. send message.

Saving your paper on a computer or computer disk

  1. open paper document in word processor (if it's brand-spankin' new, then it's already open, right?)
  2. click "save as" under the "File" menu.
  3. navigate to the disk you want to save to (more info below).
  4. type the name of the file you want to give it.
  5. click save.

Computer disks:
Computer hard drives are divided into various "drives." These act like separate disks even though they're somtimes just "partitions" or sections of a disk.
For example, the little floppy disks are almost always named the "A:" which is the A drive. The main computer disk is "C:" and sometimes also divided into "D:". CD ROM drives can be other letters - F:, N:, M:, etc. 

Finding your paper on a computer or disk when you could swear you saved it but it's not showing up

All drives can be quickly found by clicking on "My Computer" from the desktop.

If your paper is saved to a floppy disk, insert the disk and then double click the A: (A drive).

If you want a good place to save your paper to a computer, the desktop is a good place where you won't lose it (click "My Computer" then click the up arrow - desktop is at the very top level) but a BAD place if it's not just your computer and someone else may modify, delete, or steal your paper and sell it for millions of dollars on the international persuasive paper black market. If you save it to another file somewhere, just keep track of where that was. One idea is to create your own new folder on the C: - open "My Computer", double click C: to open it, then right click and select "New" and then "New Folder."
