resize of attachment task pane does not open Outlook 2007

I have followed instructions:
attach photos to outlook
go to include area of ribbon
point to the little down-arrow button on the bottom right to open the
attachment task pane
I get the message that it should show the attachment option task pane but it
never appears despite clicking on it.
Same with the include button on the insert tab

What am I doing wrong? Does this feature need to be turned on?

You need to use "Attach File" first. Then the dialog launcher (little arrow)
in the Include group will be enabled so you can display the Attachment
Options task pane. BUT, if all you want to do is attach photos to an email
and you aren't using shared attachments or want the images to be resized
then you don't need to use the Attachment Options task pane.
