Default send - mail recipient command will not send header/footer of

Sorry, my mistake. I did not notice your mail recipient correctly so I was
sure that you talked about an attachment. Then my answer is no - not as far
as I know - unless you copy the header and footer text to the main body of
the document first (but then I would prefer to send the document as an
attachment€¦).

Thanks for the reply Lene.

Using mail recipient, Word will not be attaching the doc as an attachment.
It will have the contents of the word turned into an email's body, which
means your answer is irrelevant...

Can you check?

P.s: word xp here

The problem is most likely that the receivers see the document in Reading
Layout. If they open the attachment directly from the e-mail (instead of
saving it first, e.g. on the desktop, and opening it from there), the
document will open in Reading Layout if the users have the setting "Allow
starting in Reading Layout" in Tools Options General tab turned on (it is
turned on by default). Ask them to turn off that setting or ask them to save
the document elsewhere and open it from there and see whether it solves the
problem.

type in the email and click send, the recipient receives the email without
the header/footer.
