      One option is to simply drag and drop a file from the file
      explorer into the email window. Another option is to use the
      "Attach file" menu from the "Insert"
      ribbon menu.

      Select "Browse this PC" to select the file or
      multiple files from your computer.

## Adding an attachment in New Outlook

      Select "Browse this PC" to select the file or
      multiple files from your computer.

      Once added the attachment will be visible in the email
      template. Any attachments you add or images you add to the
      email will be copied into the mail merge. Send yourself a test
      message to test this.
