Hmm,


Are your laptop and desktop connecting through your wireless network etc?

OK more things to try:

1. Take your laptop somewhere else and try sending it.
2. Open Outlook, create the document offline, attach the template and try sending it.
3. Zip the template file and attach it.

When you say it is in text format , do you mean template.txt, or template.doc, or template.dot?

Please let us know how you get on.

If #1 works then it is probably your local setup. If #2 or #3 work then it is probably verizon.

Have you checked your router and firewall for filtered objects?

Can you send .exe or .com files?
