Email message with Word or Excel file attached

[Jim Peterson]

Hi everyone and thanks for any help you can offer. One of you guys always
seems to have the answer I need.

I'm running XP Pro and Office 2007.

I have my email set up in Outlook so that when I create a new blank message
it
already has my signature block in the document.

When I'm working in Word or Excel and want to send the file I'm working as
an email attachment, I go to the MS button, select Send as an attachment and
it opens a blank Email message with the file already attached. Great - except
the
email message does not have my default signature block.

Is there some way to make this happen? I'm probably just missing a setting,
but so far I haven't been able to locate it.

Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.

Jim

There is no setting you're missing. Using the Send As feature in Word or
Excel does not use the same path into Outlook as creating a new message in
Outlook and it skips the signature adding. You must add it yourself before
you send the message.

Thanks Brian.
At least I know I'm not doing anything wrong.
Seems like this would be a nice "option" for MS to build into Word and Excel
for later release.
