Word attachment doesn't work in Outlook

[Guest]

I want to insert/send a Word file as an attachment in an Outlook message. The
file is on a floppy. I Insert/File/browse to the file on the floppy and
insert. The insertion shows up in the Email message fine, but when I try to
open it (clicking on it) to see if it there properly, I get the Microsoft
Outlook Error message: "Application Not Found"

I don't believe this used to be the case and that I have been able to attach
Word docs in the past. What is wrong?

try copying the file to your HDD first.

Sorry, Gordon, but that did not change things. I copied the file from the floppy to temp folder on my root hard disk. The insertion to a new email message produced the same error message. Thanks for trying to help
