MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / October 2004MSWord 2002-sending plain text documents
I am using Microsoft Prof XP and Word 2002. My employer needs me to send her plain text documents as an e-mail attachement. However, when she goes to open my attachement it only opens into the body of the email, not in word. Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong? Does she want the EMAIL to be plain text? Or the attachment? If the email, then open your email program and go into the options and make the email format plain text. I assume that's what she wants. **** Hope it helps! **** ~Dreamboat Excel VBA Certification Coming Soon! www.VBAExpress.com/training/ www.Brainbench.com Word Test Developer 2000,2002,2003 ******************************** > I am using Microsoft Prof XP and Word 2002.

Is that a TXT-file or a DOC-file with only Normal or Plaintext style used? > I am creating it in word as > plain text but when she goes to open the attachement, it opens into the > body of the email rather than bringing up word. You mean you (in Word) save as Plaintext in Word, right? That results in a *.txt file here. And it is always the Windows system that decides what happens to a certain type of file on events like double-click. The default action is most generally not to open this file in Word, but in a text-editor (Notepad, for instance). Additionally, her email client might have its own preferences of what to do with certain types of attachments. So, in essence, maybe you did just right and your counterpart should simply not doubleclick the file but save it first and then open it in Word; or she ought to update her specifications. 2cents .bob  Signature/"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word The attachment is a text file, .txt file >-----Original Message----- >Hi Kathy [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] >2cents >..bob > The attachment is a text file, .txt file Then, as I said, why would you or she expect Word to open this file as per default ...?
