Cannot attach Word document to e-mail

I have Windows Mail which came with Vista. I am trying to attach a Word
2007 document to an outgoing e-mail but I get error warning that Windows
mail cannot find the file. I've tried everything - is it just that Windows
Mail will not allow Word attachments (all other files such as jpg's etc.
are no problem.

Ensure that the document is closed prior to attaching.
