Copy attachments when using Send To

[Access Joe]

Office 2007: I used to be able to use File > Send > Attachment...and when the
email message opens up, I would COPY the attachment before sending it so I
could include it in other emails (I'd get the prompt 'Save to Clipboard',
click yes, and could attach that to a new email as part of an email string).
I'm not able to do that anymore (I can copy the attachment, but when I try
choosing PASTE in a new email...nothing happens.)

Obvisouly I know the upteen other ways of sending attachments, but does
anyone know if this old 2003 ability been taken away?

Do you have the selection in the Attached: control in the header of the
email message when you are attempting to paste the attachment?

I am little confused by your response Doug. Are you referring to some kind
of checkbox or setting in the Word or Outlook options?

Thanks DOug. But I'm a little confused by your response. Are you saying
there is a checkbox or Word / Outlook option I should be activating? Can you
clarify what you mean please?

No, I am not saying anything about a checkbox.

When you try to paste the attachment that you copied to the clipboard into
the new message, the cursor must be in the same position in that message as
it was in the message from which you copied it. That is in the Attached:
control which is the one below that into which you type the subject of the
email message.
