I cannot attach a WORD document to an E-Mail

I am trying to send an E-Mail with a WORD document attached. I hit "attach", it does go to WORD. I choose the attachment. Whether I hit "open" or do not hit "open" it flashes at the bottom of the E-Mail that it cannot attach the document.

This has been a problem for quite a while and I worked around it.

It is possible that a Word document is not one of the allowed file types and that the upload is canceled. It is also possible that your security software is blocking the upload.

I was able to add attachments in the past. I did not changed anything.

Also, I do not know how to check out the situations you described.
