Default How do I set up Outlook to browse for a document to hyperlink?

I have moved jobs and my new computer does not allow me to browse for a
document that I want to hyperlink in an email. I am wondering if there is a
setting that I need to change in order to do this again. Having to copy and
paste the file path into an email is a pain.

I am using 2003. When I click on Insert, then Hyperlink, I get a small
Hyperlink box that has two fields in it, Type & URL. Before it would bring
up a larger box that allowed me to browse my computer and choose the document
or folder that I wanted to hyperlink to.

Just tested it on my other machine. That's what you get when you use the
Outlook editor for email. Select Word 2003 as your Email editor in
Tools-Options and your browsing should return.

You're the best! Thanks so much for the help. I figured it was something
very easy like that.
