Windows Live Mail – Word doc attachments not showing

11. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , ,

I sent a email message from my laptop with a .docx attachment via Outlook 2007 and also sent a separate email message with a .pdf attachment to my recently purchased desktop computer with Windows Live Mail. The attachment icon does not show up for the Word attachment. But the icon appears for the pdf file.  I forwarded the message with the Word file as an attachment back to my laptop. Lo and behold, this forwarded message had the Word attachment in the attachment! What is going on? I tried several more times to send the message with the attachment and the icon never shows up! The header does not indicate an attachment, therefore there is no way I can open it...I think I need to dump this Windows Live and buy Outlook 2013. Or....???

 

The message is sent HTML format. The doc extension is associated with Word on my desktop. Conversation is turned off.

 

Thanks

Track-changed Word docs as Outlook attachments.

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.
