I have recently updated my pc with Win7 (from XP) and I use MS Office Pro
2007. I have my Outlook configured and have been using it for a few days now
but since I upgraded, I have difficulty managing file attachments when trying
to send email.

I send files often to coworkers by dragging a document into the body of an
email. This no longer works and I get the symbol of the circle and line
through it. HOWEVER, it works manually if I go through the steps using the
paperclip button to attach files.

It does work between emails though. I can create a new email and drag
attachments from one email and drop into a the new email.

I have no problems dragging an attachment OUT of email to my desktop or
folder but I just can't drag anything into a new email.

I only send Word, Excel, and PPT files so there shouldn't be any issue.

Ran Diagnostics and no issues- I also have all the latest drivers and updates.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
