What the heck is Outlook 3?
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278061 "Winmail.dat attachments are included in received e-mail messages in Outlook 2002 or in Outlook 2003" and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/197064 "Winmail.dat attachments are included in received messages in Outlook 2000".

I wondered that too but I use OE instead of Outlook. What do I know?

Don't send Word documents unless they are compressed as ZIP (or other similar format). Most likely the problem is caused by a security measure. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Karen wrote: When I send a Word document as an attachment in Outook 3, the receiver is getting a win.dat file that cannot be opened.

When sending a Word .doc attachment it is received a a win.dat
Could you expound on this issue a little? It might have something to do with
the problem I am having. When I open a Word file from an Outlook message, the table of contents updates but displays all page numbers as '2'. The page number links work properly; they just don't display properly. If I save the Word file to disk and then open it, the page numbers are correctly displayed. The problem is circumvented if the Word file is first zipped but I am interested in knowing if the problem can be prevented in the first place. Thanks for your help. "Graham Mayor" wrote: Outlook 3?

This is a different problem and is caused by opening the document in Reading
Layout view. You can prevent it by disabling that view, or you can correct the TOC (once you switch to a different view) by updating it (with F9). -- Suzanne S.

I'm constnatly amazed by the utter bull**** that MS places between users and
usability. I've been having this same probem and the crap I'll have to go through to read the material people send me and the time it takes is utterly infuriating. "Suzanne S.
