   The warning lets you know that the attachment could harm your computer.

6. Click OK.
   
7. Close the file when you're done with it.

File Printout

1. Select a page where you want to add a printout.
2. Click the File Printout button on the Insert tab.
   
3. Select a file to insert.
4. Click Insert.
   

   Notice at the top is a little icon and the name of the file.

5. Double-click the file icon.

   A warning appears again.

6. (Optional) Check the Don't show me this again check box.
7. Click OK.
   
8. Close the file when you're done with it.
