E-mailing documents containing Clip Art

[moonchild981]

I am having a problem when I try to add Clip Art to a Word document that I
send out as an E-Mail Newsletter for work. Every time I insert an image from
Clip Art, when I send the document as an HTML e-mail (in the body, not as an
attachment) it contains the clip art as an attachment as well (usually a .wmz
file). I have had different recipients tell me these files open as different
things on their computers (one said it was music files, another said it came
up as porn!). The first few times I used clip art I didn't have this
problem, but I think I must have updated something (such as downloaded a
Microsoft update) before this started happening.

Is there a way to fix this so that if I use Clip Art the images are just
embedded in the document/e-mail and not have these attachments?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am having a similar issue. Strangely however, only one of the
users/accounts on my XP machine is having this problem the other is
not.

When I send email using outlook 2002/XP with the format set to HTML
with Word as my editor, 2 files get attached to the message when going
out - image001.wmz and image001.gif.

Strangely enough the gif file is the image of a word bullet that I
recently downloaded (from within word).

My current workaround is to not use Word as my email editor - but that
is a shame.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I am having a similar issue. Starting a new thread with a more representative
title to the porblem:

"Using Word to send email or as editor for Outlook, causes wmz and gif file
attachments to be sent along"
