Attaching Excel Files using Microsoft Outlook 2010

[HowardC]

I use Outlook 2010 and Windows 7 operating system. Whenever I need to attach an Excel File, I click on attachment attachment and then selected the Excel workbook by clicking on it . Whenever I do this the Excel workbook opens up. I then need to go back to my message and then click on Insert to attach my workbook. It appears that a setting needs to be made so that when attaching the workbook, it is not so sensitive and it will allow me to click on iinsert after click on the workbook I want to select. I never had this problem when using XP.



Your assistance in this regard will be most appreciated

Hi
I cannot re-create your issue. However I believe there is a setting in Windows that allows you to set a single click to open files. This may be your issue. I cannot remember where this setting is but reposting in this forum asking this question may help you.
Good luck.

Hi Tony

Thanks for the reply. I have changed the setting to a single click, but when I click on the Paperclip and then click on the Excel file, it open. I then need to go back to the file and then click on Insert.

BTW to change to a single click, you need to go to My Computer, Folder Options, select single Click and then click on OK
