Word2000 - Send to reciepient as attachment settings

[beggarsu]

Hello all

One of my users is having a bit of trouble with Word2000 when he selects 'send to mail reciepient (as attachment)'. When Word attaches the document, it inserts it as an .rft instead of a .doc. Can anyone tell me where the settings are to change this (if any), as he would like to send the attachments as .docs and I can't find the settings anywhere. Again, Microsoft Online support offered me no clue as to where they are.

Many Thanks

The only place I know where to check for that sort of stuff is ...

Tools/options -> Save Tab

Save Word Files as: (drop down list)


check that out .. *shrug*

Thanks for the reply... I already checked that. His settings are set to save as .doc, yet it still attaches as .rtf

Anymore suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You could try changing 'Save Word Files as:' to *.txt and see if that changes the attachment you are sending. If it does, close the e-mail, try and then set the option back to .doc and see if it changes the attachement to the expected .doc format next time you try.

Probably won't work but might be worth a try???
