If you try to send an e-mail attachment and your e-mail message is not sent, or you receive an error message, your attachment may be too large to be sent. There is a 10 MB size limit for attachments that can be sent through UD mail. The solution is to use the UD Dropbox.
The UD Dropbox allows you to drop off files for (and pick up files from) UD and non-UD staff. In addition, you can use the UD Dropbox to send file types that would regularly be stripped from e-mail due to security concerns. So if you have a colleague across the country or across campus, the UD Dropbox is an excellent way to send and receive files.

The new Office versions give Windows and Macintosh users options to save in portable document format (PDF).
If you have Office 2007 installed on your Windows XP or Vista computer, a free add-in from Microsoft allows you to save files in PDF or in XML Paper Specification (XPS) format. This add-in works with eight 2007 Microsoft Office programs, including Word, Access, Excel, Publisher, Visio, InfoPath, OneNote and PowerPoint. Files saved in PDF format can then be read by Adobe Reader. Since this add-in does not come with Office 2007, you can download it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=4D951911-3E7E-4AE6-B059-A2E79ED87041&displaylang=en.
In Office 2008 for the Macintosh, there’s nothing additional to download; the PDF file format option is available in the Save As dialog box on the file menu in Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.
