Note There is more than one way to transfer files between individuals using Flare and Contributor. For example, you can: (1) use the integrated email feature with Microsoft Outlook, (2) add files to SharePoint or External Resources where others can access them, or (3) save files to your computer (File > Save, then Save As or Save To) and then manually transfer them using some method (e.g., email). If you want to use the integrated email feature, you must have matching versions of Contributor and Outlook. If you are using 64-bit Contributor, you need 64-bit Outlook.
