why can't i send doc by email
As I said, in Vista you may only use Outlook as your email client with Word
2007. I don't know if MS plan to change this. Terry "OspreyEye" wrote in message ... Sorry I missed the Windows Mail/Outlook Express nomenclature. I use Windows Mail but keep calling it Outlook Express. I will jump on the band wagon soon enough. My suggestion above pertains to my combo of Vista, MSOffice Word 2007 and Windows Mail. This also works with MS Excel 2007. "Bob Buckland ?:-)" wrote: Hi OspreyEye, The Office Button=Send to link is a Send as Attachment choice. In Windows XP it will work with Thunderbird, Outlook Express or Outlook set as the default email client. Outlook 2007 does not use Word as the email editor, it uses its own Word 'clone' and if Outlook 2007 is the default email client you get different message editors in Word from the QAT and Office=Send to options. The Send to Mail Recipient item on the QAT will allow you to send document content from within Word with the same clients, but don't be surprised if the resulting HTML email received by others, especially if you have inserted pictures and resized them, doesn't look the way you saw it when you sent it. Did you install Outlook Express in Vista separately? Windows Mail (Outlook Express successor) has been reported as not working from the QAT in Vista. ============== "OspreyEye" wrote in message ... As I see it now, there is no way to correct the "disappearing grayed out Email link" under the Pie Plate yet. HOWEVER, there is a way of having this internal function available WITHOUT correcting the Pie Plate issue, and to create an even more accessible function key for sending EMail. Put the SEND TO MAIL RECIPIENT link on the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) instead of the EMAIL link. The EMAIL link on the QAT is also grayed out on my MS WORD 2007/Vista and cannot be used. To place this link on the QAT, go to the QAT dropdown on MS Word 2007. Drop down to: MORE COMMANDS CHOOSE COMMANDS FROM: ALL COMMANDS SEND TO MAIL RECIPIENT After you have added the SEND TO MAIL RECIPIENT to the QAT, use that to send the document you are working on to the recipient. This works on VISTA with MS WORD 2007 and OUTLOOK EXPRESS. You will not need the EMAIL link on the QAT, just the SEND TO MAIL RECIPIENT. Forget the Pie Plate EMail link; leave that to MS to work out on a later mod. Let me know if this does not work on your combo of programs. Also, please tell me why this works on mine.

why can't i send doc by email
I have a somewhat different situation. I have four different computers in
the house, all running XP Pro with Office 2003. The most recent addition is an IBM laptop. Like all the others, I have configured Thunderbird as the default e-mail client, but have my girlfriends e-mail running through Outlook Express. On the the other three computers, I can e-mail and open office document by doing the file, send to mail recipient option. I usually send it as an attachment. On the most recent computer, that option is grayed out. When I change the default e-mail client to Outlook Express, I have the option to send e-mail, but not as an attachment, only with e-mail program opening up with in the Word document. Is there some setting on this computer that I am missing?

why can't i send doc by email
it has been set as the option. Despite that, the only choices I have
available are 1 recipient using a fax modem 2. Recipient using Internet fax service 3. Microsoft office PowerPoint 4. Bluetooth Grayed out our mail recipient (for review) and online meeting participant. There is no option, grayed out or not, or mail as attachment. It is only with Microsoft office documents that I have this problem. With Adobe Acrobat and other non-Microsoft documents, I do not have this problem. I can right click on any document, Microsoft or not, in my Windows Explorer folder, and choose send mail. It is only from the open office documents that I cannot perform this task. As I mentioned in the earlier post, if I switch my default mail program to Outlook Express, I can mail the open office document. However, even though mail as attachment is the choice in tools, options, that is not what happens -- the e-mail toolbar (to, send, etc.) appears in the open document. I've checked the settings, and as far as I can tell, they are exactly the same as in the other three computers in the households that do not have this problem. "Suzanne S.

why can't i send doc by email
Thank you so much!!! I have XP and have just installed Office 2007 Home &

why can't i send doc by email
Hi Terry. What does the "MVP" stand for? My question is this: like the
other person, SEND allows only a fax option with email "greyed out". I have Microsoft 2007 home and student. I was looking at your instructions. Will they work for me and how exactly do I implement it? Sorry, kinda new to this stuff. -- Mark "Terry Farrell" wrote: IIRC, Office 2007 Students version doesn't have Outlook, so you need to make sure that under Internet Options, Programs, the correct email client has been set. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "preacher" wrote in message ... i can send by fax but not even allowed the option of sending a word doc by email, and that was never a problem with the 2003 program; am now running 2007 office/student verson |

I was looking at your instructions. Will they work for me and how exactly do I implement it? Sorry, kinda new to this stuff. -- Mark Hi Mark, I also have 2007 Home & Student and am using XP. If I use the Send to link under the button in the upper left hand corner (I think they're calling it the pizza button) my only choices are Email as attachment (greyed out) and internet fax. At the moment if you want to send a doc as an attachment you'll need to save it on your hard drive and attach it to the email manually. To send the document so that it becomes the email body you'll need to "Customize the Quick Access Toolbar" (QAT). There's little arrow to the right of it. Click on that then choose More Commands; then click on the arrow in the left column and choose all commands; the one you want is "Send to Mail Recipient". The icon will appear in that toolbar and you'll then be able to click on it to send your documents as emails. I hope that this helps. Hazel |

If you post as a new question, one of the other MVPs (Most Valued Professional - a Microsoft euphemism) may have the answer for you.

This allows me to send my word doc as email that appears in Outlook Express circa 2003. Hazel |

why can't i send doc by email
Click on the Office Button and select Send, Email which will send the
document as an attachment. If you want to send as part of an email rather than attachment, then you need to add the missing command to the QAT. Right-click on he QAT and choose All Commands and then add the Send to Mail Recipient command to the QAT. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Mark" wrote in message ... I followed your advice.
