How do I send document in word format, not attached?

On my old computer, I would pull up my resume, hit send and it would plkace
the document in an email. With my new computer it sends it as an attachment,
which means some folks will have trouble opening the document. How do I
disable the attachment thing?
 
html e-mails are deterred by Microsoft's security measures. People
complained that the company did not take security seriously enough, but such
security does inhibit what you can do, and now they complain about that.
It's a classic Catch-22 situation :(

As it is possible to insert malicious code into html many organisations to
whom you are posting your resume will have their mail readers set to view
only plain text and will discard any with attachments. Unless you are
invited to supply your resume in a specific format, you are more likely to
have it seen if you send it as plain text.

In Word (2000 is what I use) have you tired opening your resume and choosing
File-->Send to--> Mail Recipient
That should bring up your an email with your resume pasted in it (no
attachment).

Correct.
The solution would be to send it in Portable Document Format (PDF).
This file format is created with the explicit intent of being... uh...
portable across many systems?
 
For those who cannot afford Acrobat, there are several low-cost or free .pdf
creating programs. You cannot *edit* the .pdf files but what can you expect
for free? My favorite is Primo PDF, www.primopdf.com. It's a 10MB download
but well worth it, even if you are still using a dialup.

Oh, sorry. I forgot to mention how to create pdf files. In fact, I
wasn't even thinking about Acrobat. Really, are there still people out
there that use that cumbersome Acrobat for simple pdf files?
Primo PDF is a good one, and Cute DPF is also nice. It's only 4.1 MiB.
Who bids less? ;-)
 
I do. I just got Acrobat Pro v7. Actually my organization got it for me to
use. We have other plans for it tho, not just creating .pdf files. The
comment and markup feature is pretty cool. :-)

Do note Acrobat 7's propensity for preventing updates to normal.dot - see

The key phrase here is "We have other plans for it tho, not just
creating .pdf files."
90% of the people "out there" don't need the extra features.

And 80% of all statistics are made up on the spot. :)
 
Your guess-timates are probably close to being accurate. I can't see paying
that much money of all you want are .pdfs though. That's why I want to learn
more - I want to take advantage of the tools I have.
