figured it out, needed adobe reader 9, and found that when you > save as and ask if you want to publish in pdf, it saves it in my documents and thats the one that you email as an attachment.

No idea with the email thing, but to have it as a pdf do --> Either; Save AS document and save it as pdf (you can chose the file type) Or press print (not quick print, but where you get into the settings) and instead of choosing a printer in the printer selection use the icon that should be called something like "PDF print". This will change the format of the document into pdf. After this just go to your yahoo account and attach the file.

well a saved excel file is a .xls file extension so in no way is it a .pdf. if you want it to be a .pdf the only way to do that is to take a screen shot of it, making it unalterable. if you want to be able to access the file online, open your yahoo account, search and attach the file (should be .xls NOT .pdf) and send it to yourself. that should do it

if you dont like outlook try out Mozilla Thunderbird, it's a great e-mail program. Secondly, I would advise against using yahoo mail in general and start up a Gmail account. Gmail is so much better and you can likely have your old email address forward all e-mail to the new account.
