Default attaching a doc to an email

How do I attach a document to an email (not through outlook) without it
sending my whole Microsoft Office Word program?
I just want to attach a document to an email, it sends the document, but
opens the whole MS Word.
thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

It does not send Word. For the recipient to read your document, he must have
either Word or the Word viewer. Assuming the former, the document is
naturally going to open in (his copy of) Word. If you want to send a
document that does not open in Word, then create a PDF, which can be read in
Adobe Reader.
