Hello and I need to know/remember what you use to attach files to an email and I'm using windows 7. What I did in windos XP doesn't seem workable in windows 7. Help appreciated, thanks.

Are you using outlook? are you accessing your emails through a browser? If the latter, who is your email provider? Please be more specific!

Appologies, forgot to post that. I have a gmail email and I need to attach a couple of Microsoft notepad documents to an email and send it out. I am using Windows 7 and internet explorer. I have outlook, but it never lets me sign for some reason.

Well, if you're using internet explorer, when you sign into your Gmail account, press the alt key and C. That will get you to composing a message. Then, depending on which screen reader you're using, scroll down the form fields until you see an attach files edit box. Right after it is the browse button if you want to use that to find the file you want to attach. If you have multiple files, right under the browse button, there is the handy "attach more" button! Press enter or space on it so you can attach more files.
I don't remember there being a specific keystroke which could jump you right to the attach files button, but I could of course be wrong.

Oh, will look and I probably just missed the button. I am using the latest version of Jaws and I also have Window-eyes on here too, but use jaws mostly.

Yeah, that's right, but I would use the attach more button, and then, once you are done, hit done, then send.

There is no need to use the Attach More button unless you are working with more than one attachment. Nice tip, however.
