Please don't use word/excel attachments.

Frank,

I understand the issues associated with text and layout but Word does compress images nicely. I would prefer a Word document to a 500k BMP file being attached to a thread.

Yes - there is not reason to attach an Excel document.

David,

I would not encourage anyone to attach a bmp either. Use png, jpg or gif instead. I expect those formats to be smaller then wrapping a word document around it.
I copied the image from the word-doc and saved it as a png.
It now is 63 kB Smile
