The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q133880 SYMPTOMS
If the Mail As Attachment option is not selected, text formatting is lost
when you send formatted text to a mail message, even if you are using
WordMail. To locate the Mail As Attachment option, click Options on the
Tools menu, and click the General tab.
CAUSE
By design, Word offers two choices: to send mail as an attachment or to
send it as plain text. If the Mail As Attachment option is not selected,
any text sent to mail is sent in a text only format.
This functionality is designed to allow you to use Word to send messages to
any mail system in a format that any system can read. Therefore, Word
strips any formatting that may be misread by other mail systems and sends
only text.
