Why am I getting a message"no more multiple file versions" when I attach a doc. . When I open the attachment it is all gobblygook. I think I have Classic. This just started to happen.

Hey there!
Nice to meet you! I'm Randy, an Independent Advisor.
Hi Jean, that message means the file might be corrupted or saved in a newer format your Word can’t read. That’s why it looks like gibberish when you open it.
Try this: save the file to your computer first, then open it using Word or go to office.com and try Word Online.
This can also happen if the file came from email or OneDrive and didn’t upload or download properly.
Best regards,

I am not able to attach any attachments. Sending links to customers doesn’t work. They can’t read it! Outlook has completely hijacked my computer from the Internet loading all my files up to OneDrive when I did not ever give permission for that. How do I take back control of my life from Microsoft?
