I have a hotmail account and im trying to paste a picture of a document I scanned into the email. It wont do it though. Does anybody know how to paste something into an email?

You really don't "paste" into an email, per se. Look for attachments.

Im going through craigslist and I tried attaching it, but its too big for craigslist. I have tried resizing it, but it distorts the letters and signatures. (the picture is of a typed document I scanned) Currently it is in an rtf. format (wordpad). I dont have microsoft word on my computer.

First of all, RTF files should be readable by any version of windows, they all came with wordpad iirc. Hit Windows+R, type wordpad, hit enter. Open the file you want.

If that doesn't work...

Upload the image on imageshack, then find the box under the image that is titled (to the left of the box) "HTML Code". Click that box, copy the text out of it (hit ctrl-c right after clicking in the box), then paste that into your craigslist post.

sorry, should have been more clear. im not posting on craigslist, im sending an email to somebody through craigslist who has posted an ad.

Are you trying to paste it into a craigslist ad or into a email to a craigslist ad? If it's in an email to a craigslist ad their email system will not transmit ANY attachment no matter how small. Best thing to do is email the person and when they reply back with their personal email address you can reply to that and send it as an attachment.

There should be a link in the composed email that says "attach" or "attatchment" or something similar. If you can, download OpenOffice.org its free and wonderful! Better than any microshaft office. ha! (=
