You can insert text from a file directly into the body of a message. When the recipient views the message, the inserted text file will not appear as a file attachment, but rather as part of the message itself.

When you insert a file into a message, the entire contents of the file are inserted in the message box at the insertion point position. After the text is inserted, you can move, format or delete the text as needed.

A Word document inserted as text into a message

NOTE If you only want to include a portion of the text in a file in a message, you can open the file in its parent application and copy the desired text into the Message window. You can use the Files of type list in the Insert File dialog box to limit the file types displayed. The All Files option displays all file types. Outlook can insert Word documents, XML files, web pages (HTML), document templates, Rich Text Format, and text files. To insert other file types, you may have to install the corresponding conversion filters.
