How to get to email from Word
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. George Lutz |

How to get to email from Word
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. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "George Lutz" George wrote in message ...

How to get to email from Word
But I don't want to send the entire Word document -- just the portion of it
that is my email. I take notes as I go through the day, and occasionally compose an email that I then want to send. The email is just a small portion of the day's notes. So, I compose the email, then cut and paste its text into Outlook. The button I used in Word 2003 called up Outlook, opened a blank email, and allowed me to paste in the text I had prepared in Word. I also had a button that called up Outlook with an email already addressed to my assistant, who is the recipient of about half of the 20 or so emails I send each day -- very convenient. Amazing that such a useful feature would be eliminated in an "updated" version of Word! I appreciate your replies. however.

Therefore you can't do what you used to do in 2003 in the same way. However, I don't understand why you would compose an email in Word and then paste the text into an email - why not just write the text directly into a new email message? |

How to get to email from Word
Because in my Word document, I use macros that greatly simplify my composing
of the email. E.g., if I want to send an email to Jennifer, my ETJ macro prepares the header, including To: Jennifer, From: George, it inputs the client name into a line, etc. Then I sue another macro to select and copy the whole email, hit the button that apparently no longer exists in 2007, then hit Control-V to insert everything into the blank email template.

I suspect what you are looking for is the 'Send To Mail Recipient' command
which you can add to the QAT. or You can select the text you want in your e-mail and run the following macro Sub Send_Extract_As_Mail() ' send the document in an Outlook Email message Dim bStarted As Boolean Dim oOutlookApp As Outlook.Application Dim oItem As Outlook.MailItem On Error Resume Next 'Get Outlook if it's running Set oOutlookApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application") 'Outlook wasn't running, start it from code If Err 0 Then Set oOutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") bStarted = True End If 'Create a new mailitem Set oItem = oOutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem) With oItem .to = " .Subject = InputBox("Subject?") .Body = Selection .Display End With 'Clean up Set oItem = Nothing Set oOutlookApp = Nothing End Sub http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm If you want to pick the recipient delete the .to line -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org George Lutz wrote: Because in my Word document, I use macros that greatly simplify my composing of the email.

You can add the Outlook command button to the QAT, just like you can add the Send to Mail Recipient tool to the QAT. Terry Farrell "George Lutz" wrote in message ...

Graham's macro works very nicely -- thank you, Graham.

Right-click anywhere on the QAT and select Customize. In the customize
dialog, select All Commands and scroll down to Microsoft Outlook. But I am assuming that you have the whole Office 2007 suit and not just Word 2007 mixed with Outlook 2003. That combination won't work as Word 2007 needs Outlook 2007 for compatibility. Hope this sorts it for you. Terry "George Lutz" wrote in message ...
