How to add a file/PDF to a Joomla Article 

Should you wish to add a PDF to a webpage/article in Joomla its not a good idea to use the standard media manger tool.

As Developers when we add a PDF to a webpage using Joomla, we use the JCE editor (Content Editor For Joomla) and its file manger tool . 

JCE is a free editor and most features are included. The file manager plugin is unfortunately one of the plugins you require a subscription to download. Do not fret though if your using Joomla this editor is excellent and does do most everything and is contentiously updated and improved. its a very active project. It included Iframe support, Media support and much more. 
If you have not done so download the file manager plug from the JCE site and install it. It's found under plugins once logged in the JCE site. 
Once you have that plugin installed and configured in your JCE editor your set and ready to go.

The Edit

Open The article you wish to edit. I'm actually using this article as a example.

Place the mouse courser where you want the text of the attachment article/PDf to be placed.

for example

 Here IS A PDF EXAMPLE

then click the file upload button as indicated above. Often the bottom is found in the bottom row - right. JCE does allow you to move it where you prefer.

JCE will now open a window to upload the file/pdf so you can place it where you wish. I always place PDF's in a folder named "pdf" just for simplicity. The JCE editor even provides the ability to create a folder on the fly. See below for example of teh the pop up when File manager button is clicked. 

That's it you now have a PDF inserted in your article. Just like above. 

Setup or Remove an Email In Outlook 2010

Before you can send and receive email messages using Microsoft Outlook, you must add and configure an email account. If you have used an earlier version of Microsoft Outlook on the same computer where you have installed Outlook, your account settings are automatically imported.

• Setting up Outlook

About email accounts

Outlook supports Microsoft Exchange, POP3, and IMAP accounts. Your Internet service provider (ISP) or email administrator can give you the configuration information that you must have to set up your email account in Outlook.

Email accounts are contained in a profile. A profile is made up of accounts, data files, and settings that specify where your email messages are saved. A new profile is created automatically when you run Outlook for the first time. For more information about profiles, see Create a profile on the Microsoft site.

Add an email account when you first start Outlook 2010

If you are new to Outlook or are installing Outlook 2010 on a new computer, the Auto Account Setup feature automatically starts and helps you configure account settings for your email accounts. This setup requires only your name, email address, and password. If your email account can’t be automatically configured, you must enter the required additional information manually.

1. Start Outlook.
2. When prompted to configure an email account, click Next.

3. To add an email account, click Yes, and then click Next.
4. Enter your name, email address, and password, and then click Next.

If you enter an email address that ends with outlook.com or msn.com, you must use the Microsoft Outlook Hotmail Connector to add the email account. For information about how to add these kinds of email accounts, see Use an Outlook.com account in Outlook.

 NOTE    When your computer is connected to a network domain for an organization that uses Microsoft Exchange Server, your mail information is automatically inserted. The password box doesn't appear because your network password is used.

A progress indicator appears as your account is configured. The setup process can take several minutes.

If the initial attempt to configure your account fails, a second attempt can be made using an unencrypted connection to the mail server. If you see this message, click Next to continue. If the unencrypted connection also fails, your email account can’t be automatically configured.

Click Retry, or select the Manually configure server settings check box. For more information, see Add an email account by using advanced settings.

After the account is successfully added, you can add more accounts by clicking Add another account.

5. To exit the Add New Account dialog box, click Finish.

Add an email account in Outlook

Although most people add an email account when Outlook first runs, your first or additional email accounts can be added at any time.

1. Click the File tab.
2. Under Account Information, click Add Account.

3. Enter your name, email address, and password, and then click Next.

If you enter an email address that ends with outlook.com, or msn.com, you must use the Microsoft Outlook Hotmail Connector to add the email account. For information about how to add these kinds of email accounts, seeUse an Outlook.com account in Outlook.

 NOTE    When your computer is connected to a network domain for an organization that uses Microsoft Exchange Server, your mail information is automatically inserted. The password box doesn't appear because your network password is used.

A progress indicator appears as your account is configured. The setup process can take several minutes.

If the initial attempt to configure your account fails, a second attempt can be made using an unencrypted connection to the mail server. If you see this message, click Next to continue. If the unencrypted connection also fails, your email account can’t be automatically configured.

Click Retry, or select the Manually configure server settings check box. For more information, see Add an email account by using advanced settings.

After the account is successfully added, you can add more accounts by clicking Add another account.

4. To exit the Add New Account dialog box, click Finish.

If you added an Exchange Server account, you must exit and restart Outlook before the account appears and can be used in Outlook.

 NOTE    If your profile already contains a Microsoft Exchange Server account, and you want to add another, you must use the Auto Account Setup. To manually configure an additional Exchange Server account, you must exit Outlook, and then use the Mail module in Control Panel.

Remove an email account

1. Click the File tab.
2. Under Account Information, click Account Settings, and then click Account Settings.

3. Select the email account that you want to remove, and then click Remove.
4. To confirm removal of the account, click Yes.

To remove an email account from a different profile, exit and restart Outlook with the other profile and follow the previous steps. You can also remove accounts from other profiles by doing the following:

1. Exit Outlook.
2. In Control Panel, click or double-click Mail.

Where is Mail in Control Panel?

The title bar of the Mail Setup dialog box contains the name of the current profile. To select a different existing profile, click Show Profiles, select the profile name, and then click Properties.

3. Click E-mail Accounts.
4. Select the account, and then click Remove.
5. To confirm removal of the account, click Yes.

 NOTES 

• Removing a POP3 or IMAP email account doesn’t delete the items that were sent and received by using the account. If you were using a POP3 account, you can still use the Outlook Data File (.pst) to work with your items.
• If you are using an Exchange account, your data remains on the mail server unless you move it to an Outlook Data File (.pst).
