OR, in Outlook 2010 with Windows 7, press ALT+N to open the Insert Ribbon.
Pressing ENTER at this point activates the first button in the Insert ribbon
which is Attach File and this brings up the Insert File dialog box.

The easiest way I have found is to press Alt to go into the menus, and then
press the number that corresponds to the tiny little icon up in the top left
of the screen. That area of the screen (above the ribbon) is called the
Quick Access Toolbar. Two problems, though. 1. The icon (which looks like
a paper clip for anyone who can see it) is not there by default. There is a
little drop down list that enables you to add any icons you want, or you can
go into File, then Options, and then down to Quick Access Toolbar to
customize it that way. Problem #2 is that the number you need to choose
would be different according to what is already up there on the Quick Access
Toolbar. For example, on mine, I added the little paperclip in Outlook, and
five icons were already there, so I press Alt, then 6. At home, with
Windows Live Mail, I press Alt, then 5. I think with one of my clients, it
is Alt, then 4. So it might be different for different people.
You can check to see what is up in the Quick Access Toolbar by starting a
new message, pressing Alt, then the UP arrow, and then arrowing left and
right. If you pause long enough, JAWS will tell you the short cut command,
such as "Alt followed by 6." The button for customizing the Quick Access
Toolbar is at the end of all the icons.

I wonder if anyone on this list can tell me how to use keystrokes to
attach a file to an Outlook or to a Live Mail outgoing message under Windows
7.
It was very easy with Windows XP and Outlook Express, which had Attach in
its first pull-down list of possibilities. Outlook Express also offered the
possibility of saving the attachment on a received message under a
specifiable name with a specifiable path. But Outlook and Live Mail under
Windows 7 seem to offer no such possibilities.
