Outlook sends Word Copy/Paste as attachment

    I have a text document created in Word 2000 SR-1. I wish to copy part or sometimes all of this document to an outgoing Outlook 2000 SR-1 mail, and have the copied and pasted text appear in the body of the email. However, many times the receiver gets a message which reads "please view the attached file" and the information I thought I had sent as part of the body of the email now comes over to my receiver as an attachment.

    Moreover, this does not happen 100% of the time. Occasionally, the mail goes exactly as I want it to, with the receiver able to open the mail and read what I pasted in the body. I cannot determine what differentiates the automatic attachment of my copied/pasted text, and that same text appearing as intended.

    Please advise. Thank you.

    -Eric

    Try sending the email in plain text or RTF.

    What Kodo has stated more than likely will solve your problem.

    on the same toolbar where the send button is found. you will also find the option on how you wish to send your message.

    Html
    Rich Text
    or
    Plain text

    Sorry. Just tried it. Plain text is the default, and I switched the email to RTF and the same thing happened. I'm in a sixth floor office. I'm thinking that's high enough to teach this computer a thing or two...
