Default When sending a Word .doc attachment it is received a a win.dat

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).

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.

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.
