Hi Lynn, It's very easy. Depending on the type of document, you can usually left click your mouse and drag it over what you want to copy (should all turn a pretty blue!) then right click your mouse and click copy. Open your e-mail right click again and hit paste. Hey presto! All should be on your page! Sometimes you have to do it from the 'edit' function at the top of the page (usually between file & view) but the principle is the same - hit copy, highlight what you want to send, the on the e-mail page right click and paste.

Hi. Can you get an image of the cert. onto your screen? If so, then highlight it all, then right click your mouse and click on copy. Now open a new e-mail and address it, then select paste from the tool bar.....and up comes the cert! Good luck Joan
