Can't attach Office files and very frustrated about it!

[Jess]

Hi,

I am using Outlook Express 6, WinXP, and Office XP. When
I compose a message and attempt to attach an Access,
Word, PowerPoint, etc. file, they are unavailable to
choose from! This only occurs when I am using OE6 and
trying to attach them. I can go into My Documents and
right-click on them and send them as attachments, but I
want to be able to do it the "normal" way.

Any suggestions, comments, etc. are GREATLY appreciated!

Thank you.
