Send Email Bug in Publisher 2003?

[Ken]

I believe my client has found a bug in Publisher 2003. I've been able to
reproduce it on several PC's so far with Windows XP Pro and Office
Professional 2003 with all updates from office.microsoft.com applied.

Please see below and recommend.

Here's how to reproduce:
1- Create a document with MS Publisher 2003
2- Save the document and close Publisher
3- Re-open the document
4- Select File | Save As, and provide a new name for the document
5- Modify the document
6- Select File | Send Email | Send Publication as Attachement
7- Open the attachment in the resulting new Outlook message

At this point, you should see that the attached document does not include
the changes made in step 5.

You can work around this by instead emailing the file from outside of
Publisher, but this is rather weird.

After step 5, do you not get a message about saving the publication before it
can be emailed? I get this message and if you say no, you can't send as an
attachment. Once the publication is saved the correct file is attached. I've
sent myself a half a dozen attachments and everyone of them have been edited it
the way you have stated. The correct file was received.

Sorry, I didn't mention that step.

Either I answered "Yes" when asked, or I manually saved prior to sending the
email, and it still occurs for me.
