Working with Documents

You can attach files, messages, or objects to a mail message in Microsoft Exchange. You can also drag and drop files into Microsoft Exchange, or drag and drop files attached to messages to other drives, folders, or documents on a local or networked computer. To use this OLE functionality, you must be in double-pane view. A button is provided on the Microsoft Exchange client toolbar to switch between single and double-pane view.

To attach files, messages, or objects to messages in the Microsoft Exchange client

• In a Microsoft Exchange message, click the Insert menu, and then click File, Message, or Object.

To drag and drop files attached to messages

• In the Microsoft Exchange Inbox, double-click the file and drag it to another folder in the Microsoft Exchange client or to a drive or folder in My Computer or Network Neighborhood. Windows 95 saves the file as an .MSG file.

Note To drag and drop files to another folder, the Microsoft Exchange client must be in double-pane view.

To drag and drop files into a message in the Microsoft Exchange client

• In My Computer or Network Neighborhood, double-click a file and drag it into an open Microsoft Exchange message or folder.

Tip You can use Microsoft Exchange folders as an alternate way to store and sort files. Consider creating a hierarchy of folders to store and categorize files, creating a personalized document library. You can create more elaborate and customized views in the Microsoft Exchange client than is possible in the Windows 95 file system.
