HOw do I e-mail a document from my Chromebook?

Factual Questions

I’ve got a document that I’ve created with Google docs on my Chromebook. I want to send it to someone, but I can’t figure out how.

I open Gmail, start an e-mail, and click on the little paper-clip. I open MyDrive, and all the Docs are shaded. I can’t select them to attach. There are pdfs in the MyDrive, and they’re not shaded; I can attach them. Clicking on the little blue icon for my Doc doesn’t unshade it.

What am I doing wrong? There must be a way to attach a Doc to a gmail?

In your Gmail draft window, don’t click on the paper clip, instead, click on the triangle thingy that looks like the recycling symbol, and it will present a list of documents from your Google Drive that you can attach to the email.
