attachment from word

If I'm composing a document in Word and choose to "send as attachment" I'm
thrown into an Outlook message. Yet I'm unable to change the focus to the
main Outlook window once I've done this, unless I save and close the
message. Why is the focus locked on that particular message, when if I
create a regular message in Outlook. I'm using Outlook XP in this instance.

end of line,

This is normal behavior. When you create a message this way, Outlook is using a "simple MAPI" message envelope that's modal.

Hi Reed,

You said that you are using the Outlook XP. Please also check whether you
are also using the Word XP. If not, you may enocunter many issue with the
function of "Send as attachment". Please upgrade the Word to the Word XP.

If this does not work, we can make the test whether the problem occurs in
the Safe Mode.
