I have Microsoft Office Word 2003 (11.5604.5656), part of Microsoft Office
Professional Edition 2003.

With previous versions of MS Word, it was always easy to email documents
that I was editing as an attachment - click on the file menu, send to
submenu, and then send file as attachment.

With this version, however, I'm having difficulty getting it to work. When
I try to send the document, it sends it in the body of the email, which I
don't want.

The Send Document as Attachment button was missing from the toolbar and the
menu, so I added it to both using the 'Customize' option on the Tools menu.
However, that didn't work, as it is now permanently 'greyed out.' I use
Microsoft Outlook Express Version 6.00.2900.2180 for my email, with an IMAP
server.

What do I have to do to get Microsoft Office Word 2003 to let me email
documents as attachments?
 
Do you have "Mail as attachment" checked on the General tab of Tools |
Options?
