Attachments

Hej
When I try to send attachments in .jpg I get the error message that the
programme can´t find one or more of the pictures and that they will not be
attached to the mail. .doc files are converted to docsx which recipients
cannot open.
Can anyone help me with info on how to solve the problem so that I can send
..jpg and doc (and other Office) files. I have Microsoft Vista and Office 2007.

Best wishes

Windows Mail has a restriction that the attachment file can't be open in
another program. Just how are you attaching the pictures?

When using Word 2007, be sure to use 'Save As' to save that document
in the compatible "Word 97-2003" format.

Hej
I use the paper clip icon to attach the picture, as I have done previously
on my old computer. Is there any other way to attach .jpg files than usining
the usual method?

There are several ways to attach pictures. One way is to right-click on the
..jpg file, select Send To, Mail Recipient.
Another way is to open Windows Photo Gallery, select the pictures you want
to send, then click E-mail on its toolbar. Both of those methods offer to
resize the pictures.
A third way is from within Windows Mail, start a new email, then click Insert,
File Attachment. That attaches the picture full-size.
