embed a word document in Outlook email
I want a Word document to be displayed in the Outlook window as the email, not as an attachment.

I saved my Word document as an rtf format. To test it, I attached the rtf file to an email and sent it to myself. It came to me as an email with an rtf attachment and did not display the document in the email message. Is there something I'm missing?
I mean to attach the DOC to an email in RTF format. Sent the email. Then the DOC file will appear to sender embedded in the email.
Teresa, you can send the Doc file from Word program. Then email will appear in email. In Word, go to File > Send Email > Send this file as message.

Both of your potential solutions gave me hope, but both just made attachments. Does it matter that I'm using Office 2007? The Send feature in 2007 specifically says that the document will be sent as an email attachment. With the RTF email format, it inserted a Word logo graphic and the filename into the body of the email before I sent it, but when it arrived, the document was an attachment.

Thanks for your help. I find that some of the formatting of the document is changed, but it's not anything I can't work around.
Send the Word attachment in Rich Text format. Then recipient will see the attachment embedded in the email.
Hope this helps!
