Since the upgrade to macOS Sierra I have problems with Word (2008, Vers. 12.3.6) Word does not shut down and file format is changed from.doc to .dat when I e-mail a word document. What could be the problem?

Since the upgrade to macOS Sierra (updated to the 10.12.2) I have problems with Word (2008, Vers. 12.3.6). Word does not shut down properly (often Mail does the same). Documents with .doc file extensions when e-mailed are arriving with .dat extensions. What could the problem be?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12.2)
