When I send an Word document as an attachment, why do I get a copy of the
message in my Outlook? I don't want this and would like it to stop.

Because you're using your default email client to sent it, and presumably
you have Outlook set to save copies of sent messages.

I tried turning off the Save Sent Messages, but when I tested again from Word
(File - Send To - Mail Recipient As Attachment), it still sent the email out
to the recipient, and send a copy to me in my inbox. I just want to send the
email out without a copy of it showing up in my inbox. Thanks for the help.

Do you have your address in the Cc: or Bcc: field?

None. Just in the To: line. Strange, isn't it?

Any suggestions on how to stop this? I have checked all the settings and they
are set to default. I have looked through all of the help menus and different
sites, but can not find the answer.

Not a clue, I'm afraid. I don't use Word as my email editor, nor do I use
Outlook, so I haven't encountered this problem.

Is there anyone else who can help? The only information I have is to upgrade
to SP3 of Office and that has been done. Any other advice from you or anyone
would be greatly appreciated.

I would suggest posting to the Outlook group where the Outlook specialists
reside, but if the copies are being e-mailed to you, as opposed to merely
being saved, then this may be a function of the mail server you are using.

Do the "Send To" as attachment and then hit "Option" in the email before
you hit "Send". What does it say under "Save sent message to"?
