MICROSOFT Co-pilot Answer

You're welcome, Norizan! There are a few smooth ways to attach a Google Docs document to your Gmail before sending it — depending on whether you want to send it as a file or a live link. Here's a breakdown:

📎 Option 1: Attach as a Google Drive Link (Recommended for Collaboration)

1. Open Gmail and click Compose.

2. Click the Google Drive icon (triangle) at the bottom of the email window.

3. Select your Google Docs file from Drive.

4. Choose “Drive link” (ideal for Docs, Sheets, Slides).

5. Click Insert — the doc appears as a clickable link in your email.

6. Gmail will prompt you to adjust sharing permissions (e.g., View, Comment, Edit).

✅ Best for: Letting recipients view or collaborate on the live document.

📄 Option 2: Send as an Email Attachment (PDF, Word, etc.)

1. Open your Google Docs file.

2. Go to File > Email > Email this file.

3. Choose the format (PDF, Word, etc.), enter recipient details, and click Send.

✅ Best for: Sending a static copy of the document.

💾 Option 3: Download and Manually Attach

1. In Google Docs, go to File > Download and choose a format (e.g., .docx, .pdf).

2. Save the file to your computer.

3. In Gmail, click Compose, then click the paperclip icon to attach the file.

4. Select your downloaded document and send.

✅ Best for: Sending to non-Google users or using other email services.
