MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / August 2007Insert 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??? 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. Press the Envelope icon op the Toolbar.

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. > Are you using Word or Outlook as the email editor? Does changing it make a > difference?

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?
