I am trying to attach Word files to email messages. Receivers can't open
resulting "zip" file. I've no idea what a "zip" file is.

Is the problem that I have Office & Word 2007 but am still using Outlook 2003?

How do I solve?

Thanks

No, that is not the problem. A zip-file is a compressed folder containing
the original file. This way you can send the same information but using less
space. Outlook doesn't have a function to do that automatically for each and
every message so you must have something else installed which does that.

Which add-in do you have installed?
