send mail screen when inserting into Word

[Alice]

Sort of an Outlook issue and a Word issue. The Outlook Send Mail screen
appears and encloses a document being inserted into a Word document
(Insert|File) -- I assume because the file was originally an Outlook
attachment. But I want to use the file as a stand-alone file and break the
association with Outlook. Any ideas?

Thanks.

I can't tell from your post what steps you're following or what file you're
talking about. The Outlook and Word versions might also be useful.

Sorry Sue. We're on Outlook 2000, Word 2000, Windows 2000. It is apparently
the Outlook Send Mail Toolbar that appears in Word when the user chooses
Insert, File to insert a file into the Word document. The file being
inserted was in this case (and I think in most other cases I have observed)
originally an email attachment that was opened and saved to the user's PC.
But the user is not sending the Word doc as an email attachment -- just
inserting a file that came as an attachment to an email message into the
current Word document.

Alice.

I still can't follow what's going on here. Sorry. Maybe you need to give us
a step-by-step descripiton.
