# Reading Attachments

An attachment is a file that can be created in any program, such as a Microsoft Word document, a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, a .wav file, or a bitmap. When a message contains an attachment, Outlook Web Access displays a small paper clip symbol beside it in the folder listing.

Upon opening the message, you will see an icon within the message body representing the attachment, and the attached file's name. Some attachments, such as .txt and .gif files, can be opened directly by the browser.

To view an attachment:

- Click the attachment file name, located below the message body. The attachment will open in a new browser window.

  | Note If your browser is not configured for the application required to view the attachment, the Save As dialog box opens.

| IMPORTANT Before editing attached files, you must download them to your computer. For help downloading files, see your browser documentation.
