OK, I made an Exell chart of Nchntman's speed test data & have tried several methods to attach the file. First, XLS is not a valid format, then the Word doc is 4 KB too large then .7zip or .rar are not valid files, so I am off to get some other stuff done. I don't think I have PKzip any more, though that is a valid file. If anyone has a solution, I will try it. BTW how can you reduce the size of a word doc. I shrunk the object (chart) size, but it didn't help.kev
