Prepare documents for email

Sometimes you may not be able to send an email if the attachment is too large.

We suggest the maximum size of attachments in one email is 5 MB (to check the size of a file, right click on it and select Properties). If you attach files larger than that the email software will take a very long time to send the email or return an error/failed message.

There are a suggestion on how you can prepare your document for email distribution.

You can compress the size of files using a Windows program installed on the computer (WINZIP or 7ZIP).

• Select the files to compress
• Right-click on the mouse and choose Send to/ Compressed (zipped) folder
• A new ZIP folder will appear with a copy of the compressed files.
