Sending a document with drop down box as an email "Jailbird" <jailbird[ at ]gmx.ch> 28.09.2006 13:48:49 Hi I just wanted to know if it's possible to send a document as an email with the drop down box (form field) showing. Please see related topic: http://groups.google.ch/group/microsoft.public.word.docmanagement/browse_thread/thread/b937ae727f50d628/d3d82fb451d5a888 At the end, the conclusion was to send it as an attachment. Is it somehow possible to send as mail itself without losing the form field? Thanks in advance Marco

If the answer is no, it's not useful to persue this approach in the first place (because then it's anybody's guess what he will see when you send him some "formatted" stuff. 2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word

Re: Sending a document with drop down box as an email "Jailbird" <jailbird[ at ]gmx.ch> 29.09.2006 12:43:38 That's what your ASCII Ribbon tells us...never format any mails! I fully agree to you, but I guess most email clients understand HTML. But I also know that MSHTML is extended HTML, so things are bad anyway. Thanks for your comment Robert M.
