Save the document, open what ever email program you are using, start
your e-mail message, attach your saved document, send.

If the Email option is disabled then that indicates you don't have an email
program that Word recognizes. What email program do you use?

Also, to save a Word 2007 document in the 97-2003 file format, click the
Office Button, point at Save As, and then click "Word 97-2003 Document".
