We have recently upgraded to Office 2003 and some users have noticed
that if you send a copy of a worksheet or word document, from within
Excel and word resepctively, you are not sending an attachment it
appears in the body of the email delivered to the recipient. This is
fine....

The problem is that when it is received and they want to edit the file
- it does not always display the open in excel 11 option under edit and
there is no option to open it in word.

In office 2000 - outlook used to allow the user to edit the message by
opening it in the application it was created. (i have not seen this
myself and no longer have 2000 to test)

Does OL11 not display open in word by design and under waht
circumstances does it display the open in excel11 option.

TIA
 
Yes, that's a design change, probably for security reasons. If you want to send an editable file, send it as an attachment.

If it sometimes displays the edit option to open in excel option and
sometimes doesn't - does this suggest that it is a bug?
