APPLIES TO


 * Microsoft Word 98 for Macintosh

-



This article was previously published under Q179319





SYMPTOMS
When you use the "Send to" command on the File menu, the current document is attached as a Word 98 document in the mail message even if you saved the file in a non-Word 98 format.

NOTE: This problem occurs when you "Send to" any of the following:


 * Mail Recipient
 * Routing Recipient
 * Fax Recipient (Class 1 Fax Modems Only)



CAUSE
This behavior occurs when the Mail As Attachment option is selected on the General tab in the Preferences dialog box (on the Tools menu, click Preferences).



WORKAROUND
To send a file in a non-Word 98 format, save the file in that format and then attach the file to your mail or fax message.



MORE INFORMATION
In Word 98 Macintosh Edition, this also applies to files that are saved as earlier versions of Word unless your default save is set to that version.

For example, if you open a Word 6.0 document and click Send To on the File menu, the file will be sent in Word 98 format unless your default save option (click Preferences on the Tools menu and then click the Save tab) is set to Word 6.0/95.
