The attachment size exceeds the allowable limit
If Microsoft Outlook gives the error “the attachment size exceeds the allowable limit”. You can place the following in a notepad document -
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Preferences]
“MaximumAttachmentSize”=dword:00100000
change 100000 which is = 100 mb to what ever number you want -
Example 30 mb would be 030000
save the document as outlook.reg (not as a txt file – use the all files option when saving)
Double click on it. This will make a registry entry and allow outlook to attach larger files. This does not mean that your provider will allow this size. Check with your provider to see the maximum size.

I know this is the answer but I do not know how to action it.
Open notepad
Copy text Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Preferences]
“MaximumAttachmentSize”=dword:00100000
And alter
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Preferences]
“MaximumAttachmentSize”=dword:00500000
save as a Outlook.reg
But where do I save it?
What do I double click on?

you can simply navigate down the registry by typing regedit and go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Software
Microsoft
Office
14.0
Preferences
and find the Maximum AttachmentSize and change it to 00500000
