It was never necessary to copy and paste into a blank email in Outlook. All
you ever needed to do from Word was to click on the Send to Mail Recipient
tool (in either Word 2002, Word 2003 or Word 2007).
When you click on that tool, it adds the standard email address bar to the
top of the windows which looks and feels identical to the blank email in
Outlook.
In Word 2007, you need to add this command button Send Mail to Recipient to
the QAT because Microsoft inexplicably left it off the Send Menu.

I just chagned from Word 2003 to Word 2007. In Word 2003, I had an icon in
the toolbar that allowed me to call upOutlook. I.e., I wouudl compose and
email in word, then select and copy it, then click on this icno, and an
email
opened up ready for me to paste in the text. I am pretty sure I used the
Customixe feature in 2002 to do this.
How can I get such an icon in 2007 to land in my Quick Access Toolbar?
Thanks.
