 An attachment is the name of a disk file, folder, or Internet address (URL) which is associated with an article. This allows you to link a file or URL to your notes about it. You can then access the file or URL along with the associated article. Since the keywords associated with the article also give you access to the article's attachment, you can, in effect, assign keywords to any file or URL.

| Attachments are useful for annotating and organizing reports, spreadsheets, and other documents. For example, you could make notes about a report which is in a word processor document and attach the document to the article containing the notes. Or you could archive information from a web page into an article and attach the web site's address to refer to for more information.
