email word forms

I have created a word form with several drop down fields. I click send,
and select Mail Recipient so the form appears in the body of the email. The
person(s) receiving the email do not have the drop down fields populated.
They are blank. When sent as attachment the fields are populated and the
form is correct. Even if I 'save' the document prior to sending to 'Mail
Recipient' the drop down fields are blank.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Thank you.

NO, Darlene. Sorry. Outlook won't retain your Word form fields. You MUST
send as a DOC attachment.
