Hi,

I open a document in Word 2007. I go to File-Send-Email.
I type a body in the email; the Word doc now an attachment. I hit send.

The recipient doesn't see the body of the email. They see the attachment,
but the body of the email is now an un-openable attachment called Message.

Why does this happen, and how do I fix this?
I know that if I type up an email first, then attach the document, the body
is left intact. But is the alternate method I outlined above a bug?

Thanks in advanced!

Hi Ryan,

Do you get the same result if you email a copy of the document to yourself?

What email program are you using with Word 2007?
