SYMPTOMS
When you use the Send command on the File menu, the current document is
attached as a Word document in your mail message even if you saved the file
in a non-Word format.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs when the Mail As Attachment option is selected on the
General tab.
To view the General tab, click Options on the Tools menu (on the Macintosh,
click Preferences on the Tools menu).
WORKAROUND
To mail a file in a non-Word format, save the file in that format and then
attach the file to your message from your mail program.
