saving image file type in Office Outlook 2003

[Frank Nolan]

When saving downloaded .jpg and/or .gif images, Office Outlook 2003 will
only save as Bitmap. After clicking Save as, the file down arrow provides
no other options. Outlook opens the picture i n .jpg and/or .gif but will
only save as Bitmap. I am using Irfanview as imaging software, running
Windows XP Home, SP2 with 15+ Gigs of free disc space. This is not a
problem with Outlook Express. Can someone advise me as to correcting this
problem.

I can't imagine what is happening. Outlook is not a graphic program and
should not be changing file types.

Sorry. This is a newsgroup dedicated to questions about Access, the
database program in Office Professional. It appears your question may not
be related to these subjects. The Microsoft help system is not all that
clear and may have misdirected you here.

It is best to ask your questions in a newsgroup dedicated to the
subject of your question. You should find people better able to address
your problem there.

Note: It is always best to indicate the name and version of any
program(s) you may be using when asking a question and also indicate the
operating system (like Windows XP or 98) when you ask a question.
