Re: Sending Word 97 Docs from a Vista Laptop

You're welcome.
For those who did not see my response, it says:
Make sure the file is not open in Word.

Re: Sending Word 97 Docs from a Vista Laptop

Are you having the same problem as "JT"?
That error happens when the file is still open in Word.
The file you are attaching to Windows Mail cannot be open in any other
program.

Re: Sending Word 97 Docs from a Vista Laptop

Thanks!!! That worked for me. Now, quite why they designed Vista that way
is another question.....

Re: Sending Word 97 Docs from a Vista Laptop

It's not a Vista thing, strictly a Windows Mail limitation. If you upgrade
to Windows Live Mail, you can attach files that are still open elsewhere.

Re: Sending Word 97 Docs from a Vista Laptop

What are Vista type fonts? And do you need to use different fonts when
saving it as 97-2003 so the recipient can open it?

Re: Sending Word 97 Docs from a Vista Laptop

You mean, as far as not being able to attach files that are open elsewhere?
For Windows Mail, that will always happen, regardless of your settings.
The only permanent fix is to upgrade to Windows Live Mail:
