This isn't really a Word question, but here goes.

0. Make sure the company accepts resumes as Word attachments -- some
don't accept them at all, and some accept only plain text.

1. Save your resume and REMEMBER the folder and filename you used.

2. Open your e-mail program and start a new outgoing message.

3. Use your program's "attach" command. (Many programs have a paper
clip to click on. If you don't see one, look in the drop-down menus
for an Attach or Attachment command.)

4. Type your message ("cover letter") normally.

5. In the dialog box that opens, navigate to the folder that contains
your document, select the document, and click "Attach" or "Open" or
"OK" as appropriate.

6. Make sure to put your own e-mail address on the CC line before you
send the mail, so you'll get a copy of what the company sees.

Convert it to a .pdf file it will be easier for them to receive it and read
it

It'll be bigger, but easier?

The size is not so much the issue as the layout. If you want to produce a
formatted document then really PDF is the only approach. Many companies will
reject document attachments out of hand. Some companies reject all
attachments. The surest policy is to enter the information as plain text in
the body of a plain text e-mail, unless an alternative is specifically
requested.
