Word 2007 - emailing problem
Hi
In Word 2003 I could use a template I made, make changes to a clients name, staff contact, subject heading etc etc, click on the email icon and it worked just as in Outlook. I've upgraded to Office 2007 Ent and I can't fathom out how to get the page to open like Outlook. The only option I can see is to do a mail merge !!! Sending like this sends the email but without a subject, the email address as I don't want it to look etc. It also requests numerous bits of info that are irrelevant to just sending an email from within Word. How can I send a regular email from within Word 2007 please. Hope this is possible or it's back to 2003 Liam |

Word 2007 - emailing problem
Have you tried "MS Office Button"|Send|Email (which should open the sort of
window you are looking for, rather than actually sending anything)? Peter Jamieson "liam" u32186@uwe wrote in message news:6e938ec4c20e7@uwe...

Word 2007 - emailing problem
Hi Peter
Thank you very much for replying. Yes, when I do this the window I'm looking for does open but it automatically attaches the document. I would like the choice though of the document to be the email (as in Office 2003) and not the attachment. I cannot yet find the way to set this up. Since I use many Word templates for emailing to clients that only require minor personalisation changes, Word 2003 saved me time by not having to open a Word doc and to then copy and paste the text into an Outlook blank mail. Word 2003 was an extension of Outlook. In this instance, I think MS have chosen a route in re-writing Office 2007 that adds functionality for mass mailers at the cost of the dual effectiveness of the previous Word version. I would also like to know if versions other than the Enterprise edition retain the functionality that I would like to have (as in Word 2003). Appreciate any help and advice Thks Liam Peter Jamieson wrote: Have you tried "MS Office Button"|Send|Email (which should open the sort of window you are looking for, rather than actually sending anything)?

Try "MS Office Button"|"Word Options"|Customize|"Choose Commands From", then
select "All Commands", locate "Send to Mail Recipient" in the list and click the Add button to add it to the Quick Access Toolbar. Then click the new button :-) Peter Jamieson "liam via OfficeKB.com" u32186@uwe wrote in message news:6ea0f6f55e99b@uwe... Hi Peter Thank you very much for replying.

Word 2007 - emailing problem
Peter
You are a Saint Thank you very much. I had looked in where you say and it didn't work. However I've just had to format "C" and reinstall all again. Now we have success. Now just need to reset all the rules etc since it's a clean install and not an upgrade. I think I will eventually have a quick access bar as big as the ribbon - lol Thanks again Liam Peter Jamieson wrote: Try "MS Office Button"|"Word Options"|Customize|"Choose Commands From", then select "All Commands", locate "Send to Mail Recipient" in the list and click the Add button to add it to the Quick Access Toolbar.

Word 2007 - emailing problem
Hi Peter,
I had been having the same problem and I tried what you said but on mine it added the button to the toolbar, but then wouldn't highlight the toolbar portion!

Word 2007 - emailing problem
Regret I can't check this at the moment as I don't have 2007 to hand.
Assuming trial expiration/non-activation isn't your problem, and you are using Outlook 2007, then my best guesses are that either a. Outlook is not set up as the e-mail application in IE|Tools|Internet options|Programs or b. you may need to set up some registry entries - it may be worth trying the approach described in http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk/t0002.htm However, that's normally a solution for an inability to merge to e-mail not simply to send to email, so it may also be completely irrelevant.
