Insert Word File into Outlook
I have a Word 2003 file that is standard text I send to a group of people
once a week via email. Normally I click in the body section of the email and Insert File. When I navigate to the Word file location, I choose to Insert As Text and the text of the message appears in the body of the email. Suddenly (don't you just love that?!?!?!) the text is appearing in the email as 6 or 7 unidentifiable characters. When I highlight the text in the email, it is identified as Arial 12 point. When I check the Word file, it is perfect. This happens whether the email is formatted as HTML or Rich Text or Plain Text. Any idea what has happened??? |

Insert Word File into Outlook
Are you using Word or Outlook as the email editor? Does changing it make a
difference? Note that you can also directly mail from within Word.

Insert Word File into Outlook
Word is the email editor, but that hasn't changed.
Until I figure this out, I'll either email directly from Word, or I'll copy and paste. Just cannot imagine why I can't seem to use the insert file as text option any more.

Insert Word File into Outlook
Insert As Text means Outlook will need to interpret the file first. There
could be some changes in your normal.dot file that Outlook can see as a character but Word doesn't. What you can try is renaming normal.dot to .old and create a new document based on that template. When you insert that document as text now, do the strange characters still show now? -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "BK" wrote in message ...
