Sending a word document in outlook but not as an attachment

[Guest]

Does anyone know how to send a word doc out in an email format without having
to do it as an attachment? IE. in the body of the message? Thanks

Insert File | single click on the file, then look in the bottom right corner
of the window and select As Text.

You didn't mention your Office version, but somewhere there should be a
button and/or menu command to send the currently open document as an e-mail
message. You'll get a header bar and whatever else you need to address and
send the message.

Sorry, I meant to specify that the "send as e-mail" button or toolbar would
appear in Word...hoepfully that was obvious

The only button is the send as attachment....the send to receipents is gray'd
out.

This should be easier then this!

I would copy and paste but it has pictures and formatting that will not copy
and paste accurately either.

Which version of Outlook and Word?

Jocelyn's reference here is to the "Office Envelope" which isn't there with
Outlook 2007. the command is still available.
If you use Word 2007 then look in Customize Quick Access Toolbar (in Word)
in the command not in the Ribbon group and you will find "Send to Mail
Recipient". Add that to the QAT. Using that will open the Office Envelope
around Word where you send the document in the body of the email.

Inserting as a file is pointless since "as text" loses all formatting. You
might as well copy and paste which might preserve something.

Then your best bet is to send as an attachment - sending as the body of the
email will quite probably lose a lot of the formatting when the recipient
opens it....
