Question about Outlook Express

On my former PC laptop I was able to open an email in Outlook, open a Word attachment in that email, edit that document with track changes, save the edited version (with markings/comments) TO THE EMAIL THAT IT CAME FROM (rather than to desktop or any other place on my hard drive), open a reply-to-sender window, drag the edited version of the document into the reply, and then send it back to its author so she/he could see and work with my edits/comments.  Is there a way to do that in Office for Mac 2011?  I'm trying to avoid having to save the document to desktop and then insert it into the reply.
