Question: Microsoft Word doc saved as email

MSWordFilter: how do I convert back after accidentally clicking "send to" and turning my doc into an email?

While working on a Microsoft Word document, I accidentally converted the doc to an email. I think I clicked "send to" and then saved. Yes, I saved. Stupid me. Now I have my beautifully formatted document (complete with headers) set up as an email. Despite Googling and using Help, I can't figure out how to get rid of the email formatting and just have a regular document. I tried "save as", but that didn't work. I tried cutting and pasting, but this doesn't keep all the formatting. Can anyone suggest a way to keep the document as is, except for the email part? Thanks.

Click on the same button again, the one that looks like an envelope and contact card.

(i do this all the time)

Thank you so much. Perhaps that's how I got into this mess in the first place. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You just saved me a ton of work.

I just tried it. I don't think it's turned into an email; Word just added the email header. Go back to File -> Send to -> Mail Recipient (or whatever you clicked before). It should unclick it and remove the 'send to' area.

In fact, going >>File>>Send to will also convert it back.
