Problem copying word doc with images to email
4 Answers
I'm trying to design a newsletter for an email shot, but when I copy and paste the word doc over to the email the pictures don't come out. Is that because I need the pictures in a different format?
I'm using Office Talk, shall I use Outlook? Thing is whether I insert the pictures or copy & paste them into the email they still come up with nothing at the other end.

Why not send yourself an email message from Outlook or Outlook Express, with a Word document attachment, including images. ? This will confirm that the process works, without the need to change any formats.
Create your email message, select ATTACH, then browse to the document you wish to include, SELECT and then send.
Some people configure Outlook NOT to open attachments which are included in email messages. Could this be the problem ?

Thanks for your input Russ
The thing I'm trying to do is not to have the word doc as an attachment, but rather to be there waiting when someone clicks to open the mail.
The document is quite large so I don't want to have to type it onto the blank email. It's just that when I copy it across from the word doc, the images aren't there.

There are two types of email format - plain text and rich text.
Plain text only allows plain text (as you would expect) with no pictures or fancy fonts, colors etc.
Rich text allows all the fancy formatting etc.
Maybe you have plain text selected.
In Outlook, when you click on Create Mail, in the mail window, use the Format button to select Rich Text. Your buttons may be slightly different.
If you do send an -email in Rich text format, but the person recieving it only has plain text set as their default then they will not see any of your fancy formatting, pictures etc.
