Insert Word 2007 doc in email

[modeller]

I use Vista and I installed MS Office Home and Student 2007 which includes MS Word 2007 and I normally save any files as a Word Doc. however I recently tried to attach such file on to an email ,which it apparently did. But just to check I clicked on to the attachment and up came an error notice saying Windows could not find it. I tried this with several other Word files with the same result. However I found if I saved the files as Open Doc. or Word 97---2003 I could attach them to emails without any trouble. Any suggestions what the problem might be?

I have no experience with Vista so this may not work for you.

Have you tried right clicking on the word.docx file and selecting the "send to" - "mail recipient" option, which you can do with XP?

I have just tried it with a docx Office 2007 file and sent it to myself successfully.

But PLEASE check the perosn you are sending it to can open it. We get dozens of calls where people have just assumed the recipient has Word 2007.
