Problems using Outlook from Word

Problems when sending a Word-document as an attached file

I my Office 2003 (Danish version) I am using Word as email editor. If I have
created a document in Word, then choose

File; Send; Send to Mail Recipient (as attachment)

A window appears with lines on top for recipients, subject, attachment, and
below a text area. I then write my comments, senders name etc. in the text
area and send the text.

The recipient then receives my attachment in an empty mail.

The comments I have written in the text area are not sent

Neither is the standard signature included.

The only tekst which the recipient gets with the attachment is the text
between the lines:
______________________________________________________________________

If I send a Word-document directly - not as attachemnet - the recipient
gets all the text.
