Most Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have an email attachment limit of around 15 MB.  But, what if the file you want to send is larger than 15 MB?

Google's Gmail has a 25 MB limit and once uploaded from your PC to Gmail, is sent almost instantly to another Gmail account.

For files larger than 25 MB, we use www.yousendit.com

YouSendIt has a free 100 MB limit.

Share files across multiple PCs

Need to access your files from multiple PCs and your internet capable phone?

We have been using DropBox for a while now and find it incredibly useful.  After setting up a free account (just supply an email address and password) you download the DropBox program and install it on all the PCs, laptops, etc., on which you would like to access the same files.  
After accessing the DropBox account once (using the original email address and password) from that PC/Laptop, any files placed into the DropBox icon on one PC are then accessible from every other PC.

It's also a great way to just backup important data on mutiple PCs.

This link will get you an extra 250 MB of bonus space over an above the free 2 GB limit.

Stripping formating from a Word docs or emails

We often copy and paste from one source to another in Word or emails and that pasted material often keeps all the formatting - bold, underline, font size, etc. , which might not be what you want.  

Just select the text and press the Control key and Space bar to convert the selection to plain, unformatted text.
