How is it possible to attach an office file to a worklow

[Jean-Baptiste COURMONT]

Hello Tomasz,
 
I'm going to check the way it works. Have you ever seen how to include a
PC file in a worflow attachement in background ? A solution could be the
creation of a SOFM folder but I am not sure it is the best one.
  Regards
 
Jean-Baptiste
