Word Doc as Email Message Body?

How do you send a 2007 Word document as an email message body. I can easily
do it in 2003 Word (File / Send to Mail Recipient), but I can't find how to
do this in 2007 Word. Help!

I've not yet upgraded to 2007 but I would expect that you can simply copy
the Word doc into a blank email and send. BB

I realize that, but it is a stupid extra step that you didn't have to do in
2003 Word. You can send the doc in 2003 Word AS the message body in an
email without having to cut / paste anything.....

Customize the Quick Access Toolbar by adding the Send to Mail Recipient
item. You will find it in either the Commands Not in the Ribbon or the All
Commands categories that you select via the Choose commands from combobox.

Doug, I am having the same difficulty. Through Dell support, I've learned
that my version of office (Home and Student 2007) lacks the ability to send a
word document as email. I did not know this when I purchased the machine as a
package. What are my options? Can I upgrade to a different Office? Or is
there a product key that I can purchase to allow me to use that feature? I
seriously do not wish to spend $600 on the new Office, when I've already paid
for this bundle.

Thanks!

Whilst nothing would totally surprise me it seems much more likely that Dell
are wrong than that you can't e-mail a document.

What happens when you try to do what Doug suggests? Is the "Send to Mail
recipient" not in the "All Commands" list? Or does it not work when added to
the QAT? Or what?

I did as Doug suggested, and went through all the steps again with the dell
assistant. When trying to send receive, the Word program says error, the
windows restarts.

This may be a problem with the e-mail client you are using but, more likely,
I suspect it is a problem with Word. There is no special key available and
upgrading Office won't make a difference. There is another way but it
involves some VBA code.

By default Office Button Send E-mail, sends as an attachment but there
is an option to make it send as text. Unfortunately there appears to be no
way to change that option via the UI. If you know VBA, the setting you want
is Options.SendMailAttach = False.

If you don't know VBA ...

Press Alt+F11
Press Ctrl+G
Type Options.SendMailAttach = False
Press Enter
Press Alt+F4

When you have done this, selecting Office Button Send E-mail should send
as text.

I followed your instuctions to the letter. However, when you go office
button send, the send mail as text is greyed out. Meaning, when you mouse
over it, it doesn't 'light up' like send as fax does below it. Oh, I use the
2007 Microsoft mail which I understand is the new outlook.

The Home and Student Edition does not include Outlook. I think however that
if you configure Outlook Express, which is part of Windows, not Office as
your default mail program, or at least set up a mail account in Outlook
Express, then the Office menu item may be able to be used.
