Easiest way to handle it might be to save the Word doc as a mht file, then
attach the mht file to your correspondence. Should work as it does here.
Just click on the pull down tab under File type when saving the document in
Word and change it to MHT.

I tried this, but it doesn't work quite correctly. I'm able to send the
document to a mail recipient as you describe, and in the "compose mail"
window it looks fine. Once the mail is sent, though, the formatting is
still messed up in both the inbox and outbox versions.

An additional complication: I'm teaching an online college class that uses
a newsgroup setup similar to Usenet. I can't figure out how to get the
message to the newsgroup server instead of a regular email address.

One trick that does work: I created a PDF file from the word document. Then
I copied the section of interest to a blank Word document as an image. Then
I copied the image from the Word document to the OE message, and it seems to
work fine. Copying the section directly from the PDF file to OE does not
work - the "paste" option is not available.

Thanks for any additional advice you can offer!

I'm trying to copy and paste text and graphics from a Word document. In
the Word document, the text is spaced with tabs and the space bar to line up
with certain features in the graphics. The graphics are all created with
the Word Drawing Toolbar tools, and are primarily lines and arrows. The
result is supposed to be a time line, with the numbers representing cash
flow at each time period.

I tried to post an image of what I mean but the message got filtered out
by the server. When I copy and paste directly from the Word document file
to Outlook Express, all of the numbers on the timeline get shifted out of
position.

I'd prefer to be able to copy and paste directly from Word and retain the
formatting. My emails are set up to use Rich Text Format.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!
