Outlook Express won't attach word documents

[newcoder]

Using Outlook express 6 - can attach all sorts of attachments to emails (works, notepad, etc)- but when Word document is attached the email will not send. Any ideas?

And here's even weirder info. If we go into Word (2002) and choose file - send to as an attachment - it goes - the email sends with the attachment....it only won't send if you create the email and attach the document....

What exaclty happens when you attach by the normal method within OE?--- Does the message close and go into the outbox and never leave? Or does the 'send' button appear to not do anything; the message just sits there?

What virus scanner are you using?
