Email Word 2007

[Guest]

In previous versions of word if you asked to email a document, microsoft word
would automatically open an email interface and mail the contents of the
document through outlook. In word 2007 I can't find any such feature, all I
can find is a "Send as an attatchment" aside from copying and pasting in
outlook, is there anyway to send the contents of a word 2007 document, as an
email, not as an attatchment, through Microsoft Word itself? (IE I press send
on Word, not outlook...obviously it's sent THROUGH outlook)

The "send as body" command isn't on the menu or the ribbon, but you
can add it to the Quick Access Toolbar (the little bar of icons above
the ribbon).

At the right end of the toolbar, click the little down arrow and
choose "Customize Quick Access Toolbar". In that dialog, set the
"Choose commands from" dropdown to "Commands Not in the Ribbon" (the
next-to-last item). Scroll down the list and choose the Email command,
then click the Add button to push it over to the list of items on the
toolbar.

I had this same question, and followed your advice.

However, the email icon is greyed out, and I cannot select it. The email
icon with a paper clip, for sending as an attachment, works just fine.
