Someone suggested using a "copy" function in Word, and a "paste" function of Mozilla but that doesn't work. I'm trying to e-mail a text document (first few pages of a story) to several literary agents, but they won't accept it as an attachment--only when included in the body of the e-mail.

re :Someone suggested using a "copy" function in Word, and a "paste" function of Mozilla but that doesn't work.

What does not work....is nothing copied into the 'Write' window or is it copied but not as you expected it to look?

Word will have a load of hidden code which can cause all sorts of issues. MS Word is designed to be a 'Word Processing' tool and will have a load of formatting, fonts etc that may or may not be available in HTML or even on other receiving computers.

So make sure you are using a font that is readilly available on most computers.

In 'Word' document, Select the text and use 'Copy' option.

In Thunderbird In a 'Write' window Type initial part of email. Then use the 'Edit' > 'Paste without formatting' option to insert the copied text.
