    Hi Elena99 

     

    you can include the file using the menu "Insert | Object" (it's a very small icon at the far right of the menue bar)

    In the Object window, first open the "Create from File" tab,

    Browse for your file

    Tick the checkbox "Display as icon", the other checkbox "Link to file" must not be ticked.

     

     

    When you save the Excel workbook, it will include the inserted file. So you can send the workbook by E-Mail and it will still have the file included.
