Send the entire word document as an attachment.

Attach the DOC file itself to a new message.

attaching the message wont work because the reciving parties cannot open
attached files (its a work email thing). i have found this advise for outlook
http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/senddocasmail.htm however cannot make it
work for windows mail. i have tried to embed the images seperatley but dont
seem to be able to make this work either it just keeps adding them as
attachments. the file does not have to be .doc i can convert it to a
different format if this would help.

I suggest you try Windows Live Mail because it is more lenient about
what you can paste into the body of an email.

Don't the recipients have WinWord or some other wordprocessor available?
Couldn't they use the free "Word Viewer"?

Outlook is a totally different beast. And WinMail can not work with VBA
code.

No, this will not work.

For sure this would help!
Just convert the DOCs to PDFs.
Opening them normally can be no problem. Nowadays there's hardly any
computer with a reader for PDFs. Should it not be installed, the Adobe
Reader is free.
For converting you can use the free (open source) PDFCreator [1].

Sending documents in the PDF format instead of embedding in a mail or
sending DOC attachments is the far better way anyhow. In well organized
business environments all documents are sent as PDFs (except the cases
where the recipient shall be able to edit a document.

Then use Outlook as your default Mail Client. It's much more versatile than
Windows Mail, I can assure you.
