Populate a Word Document and Send it in Email

Hello,

 

We have exchange on premise, I have a flow that I am populating a word document and sending it as an attachment in an email. However, it is not sending it as a .doc or .docx. It is just being sent as a file and whenever you click on the attachment, you have to choose what to open it with. I have tried putting .doc and .docx extension after the file in the flow. It seems like a simple fix reading what other people have done to fix but that hasn't worked for us. Any ideas? Thanks

    I solved this. I was putting the .docx after the attachment. It has to go after the attachment name. Thanks
