File Size Increases as Attachment

[N Weir]

I am not sure if I am posting this in the correct group so I will post the
same message in a Word group. I am using Office XP Pro (2002). I have a file
that is 2,219kb. When I send it as an attachment it increases to 2 mb which
makes it a large file to send. Why is this happening and is there a way to
correct it?

Thanks,
