word document (...) appear as the body of the email NOT an attachment




That cannot be done, and shouldn't be attempted, because the capabilities of the respective recipients system usually do not include true rendering of word documents.



Remember, the recipient may "read" your email on a cellphone, a computer with a different operating system, a computer without "Word" installed, a computer with a different version of "Word" installed, a text-only terminal, a text-to-speech system, or even a braille line.



Nowadays, HTML and some markup are tolerated by some mail clients and displayed to some extent (this is frowned upon by many professionals, as it brings a multitude of new problems, like bloated emails, and the very possibility of inconsistencies between say, text and HTML versions)... so, anything else simply has to go into attachments.
