Hello, Fellow Media People,
I just posted a hit the other day and surprisingly it went. I'll try to
explain how I did it.
When I did my first target, I didn't know it was going to be a
target...Someone ask me to post a hit so this is what happened to me.
I had not saved the files but had printed them out to show my teacher.
So I summarized them all in my word processor. When that was
complete, I selected that whole file, chose -copy-, kept track of the
filename, opened the window at the very top left corner,clicked on
-switch to-, switched to Program Manager, named the file, opened my
Internet e-mail, selected -compose a message-, addressed the message
to the LM_NET, placed the cursor in the Message text area, selected
the -paste- option from the edit, and voila, it was there.
BTW, I forgot to mention I have Windows and Microsoft software.
Actually, there is another way without out creating a whole new
document in word processor but I haven't figured that one out yet. I
can see this would work for sending other documents you may have
already created.
Let me know if you have other questions. GOOD LUCK! I did this on my
second try and have only been on the Net two months, so you can do it
too!!!
