word docs as attachments
Many people no longer accept attachments in their email from unknown
correspondents, but Word 2007 will only email docs as attachments. Older versions of word used to simply transmit the doc as the email content. Other than marking the entire doc and copying and pasting it into the email, what can I do to transform the doc directly into an email and NOT as an attachment? |

word docs as attachments
The "E-mail" command is missing or is unavailable in Excel 2007, in
PowerPoint 2007, or in Word 2007 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918792 -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org weekend wrote: Many people no longer accept attachments in their email from unknown correspondents, but Word 2007 will only email docs as attachments.

word docs as attachments
Graham: there seems to be some misunderstanding. The "E-mail" command is not
missing. It's working perfectly, sending docs as attachments. The problem is, I don't want to send docs as attachments, because the recipients who don't know me don't want to open attachments. I WANT TO SEND DOCS AS EMAIL TEXT, the way older versions of Word used to. Is there any way I can send docs as email text without doing a "mark, copy and paste?"

Add the 'send to mail recipient' command to the QAT (Quick Access Toolbar)
from the all commands section. Note that the formatting of your document will almost certainly be lost when you send the document as an e-mail message as the formatting requirements for Word documents and html are entirely different. Web view should provide an indication. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org weekend wrote: Graham: there seems to be some misunderstanding.

thanks, graham. That worked perfectly. I understand about the deformatting,
but I'd rather deal with that than have my letter unread. "Graham Mayor" wrote: Add the 'send to mail recipient' command to the QAT (Quick Access Toolbar) from the all commands section.

This command is not on the ribbon but you can add it to your QAT. Click Office-button - Word Options - Customize - select Commands not in the Ribbon - locate Send to Mail Recipient and add it to your QAT. -- Fredrik E. Nilsen http://fenilsen.wordpress.com |
