MS Office Forum / Word / General MS Word Questions / January 2004Sent to - as attachment Word 2002
A user sent a Word email attachment using Sent To - Mail Recipient (As Attachment). The recipient received it as a Word Perfect Document. When the attachment was sent again by opening Outlook and insert - attachment, the same recipient received it as a Word Doc. Our organization uses Microsoft Word only. No machine have Wp installed. Why would it show up as a Word Perfect Doc? It is possible that the document was saved using the WordPerfect format supported and built into Word. Save the document again, strictly as a Word document. Always make sure that "document", is selected in the "save as type" box of the "Save As" dialogue.

Was it sent as a .doc, or something else? 1. What file type is .doc (or whatever has been used) associated with on the recipient machine? It should be Word, but maybe someone has changed the association? 2. Windows may get the attachment's file type from the "MIME type" listed at the top of the attachment - e.g. for Word it would typically be "application/msword". Unfortunately this text is hidden by Outlook and I don't know how to export the raw message text so you can read it in a plain text viewer - even View|Properties in the message viewr only shows you the very top part of the raw message text. Maybe you could ask how to do this in an Outlook group. -- Peter Jamieson - Word MVP Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org/ > A user sent a Word email attachment using Sent To - Mail > Recipient (As Attachment).
