E-mailing files with Excel or Word

[Rick]

I am a new user to Office 2007 & Windows Vista, having been a long time user
of Excel 2003 & Word 2003.
How do I e-mail a file in Excel or Word.

1. If I "send to e-mail recipient", it sends the page as part of the
e-mail - seems to work easily.

2. However, if I "e-mail", nothing happens.

3. If I "send to e-mail as PDF attachment", it appears to send it to
Publisher, but I can't find it, nor does it pull up the e-mail.

I went to 2007 add-ins on the Microsoft site, and downloaded the "save as
PDF" and I can now save a file as a PDF file.

When I go to the send function, all that is available is "internet fax"
which I also don't know how to use. But I would like to simply e-mail a
file as an attachment. Please help.

Thanks,
Rick

Hello,

You should be able to attach those files as you would any file. However,
the extensions are different than in 2003. In 03 you would have a .doc file
or a .xls file, with 2007 you have a .docx file and .xlsx files. It may be
that you need to look for them.

Also, if you are going to email them to people who do not have 07, you may
want to use the SAVE AS feature and choose 97-2003 option. This will allow
for the document to be opened by earlier versions
