How to stop file attachment from embedding in message

[crkutney]

Hi,



Just discovered these forums and this is my inaugural post.

I am using Outlook 2010 on a Windows 7 computer.

I am trying to attach a file (.xls) but it keeps embedding the file in the message box, as opposed to in an "attachments" field below the 'CC' field.

I've tried both 1) dragging the file over, and 2) using the "Insert" --> "attachment" from the toolbar, but neither works.

How can I include a file with my email, but not "embed" the file in the body of the text?

Thanks in advance,

Chris

My system has switched from placing attachments in the header to placing them in the message area. This happened 2 days ago without any deliberate intervention on my part. I have searched Options and the ribbon but can't find any setting that alters Outlook action with respect to attachments.
Not an answer I'm afraid but perhaps it may get a response as your question has remained unanswered since March
