How do I save word doc attachment with email as attachment?

[Guest]

With last version of Office/Outlook, when I open a word doc attached to an
email, change it, then save, the changed version is saved, again, as the
attachment to the same email. Why, in Office 2007, to I have to save the word
doc as a file, then separately go back and attach to former or new email in
Outlook? Is there a way to revert to old functionality?

You shouldn't need to do that. Just make sure you open the message before you open the attachment. Do that instead of opening the attachment from the reading pane (where the message is read-only).

Thanks, Sue. I feel like a fool
