Cannot insert attachment as shortcut

My IT Manager told me to send shortcuts to documents in e-mail messages
rather than inserting the documents themselves into the document. I can see
the sense of this, but my 'Insert' choices are limited to "Text Only" or
"Attachment" - the "Shortcut" option is greyed out. How can I change this?

Please?

Anybody?
 
I do not even see a "Shortcut" option when using my Outlook. What
version are you using?

You could create a shortcut on your computer, then insert that shortcut.
But the recipients must have access to the original file.

If the file is located on a central server, you could insert a link to
that file instead of a shortcut; format: \\server\folder\file
