Help GMail App Question

I don't know how many of you are using the GMail app. I downloaded the full version of "Documents to go" and created a Word document. I'm trying to e-mail it to someone, but I can't figure out how to send it with the Gmail app. When I select the menu and hit attach, it only gives me an option of attaching photos. Does anyone know how to attach something other than a photo?

If I use the regular e-mail app, I can attach documents, pdf files, videos, photos, etc. It gives me a menu option with multiple choices unlike what I'm seeing with the Gmail app.

In Doc's... does it give you sending options. In the Gmail App, tap COMPOSE (bottom pop-up menu), it should give you an attachment option.

It does. I finally figured it out last night after tinkering around with the Documents to Go app instead trying to find the solution in with the Gmail app. I wish the Gmail app had more options (like sending attachments and e-mailing group contacts) when compared to the other e-mail app. Why you can not send an e-mail to group contacts (that I set up with G-mail on my desktop) is beyond me.
