Default How to get to email from Word

I just chagned from Word 2003 to Word 2007. In Word 2003, I had an icon in
the toolbar that allowed me to call upOutlook. I.e., I wouudl compose and
email in word, then select and copy it, then click on this icno, and an email
opened up ready for me to paste in the text. I am pretty sure I used the
Customixe feature in 2002 to do this.

How can I get such an icon in 2007 to land in my Quick Access Toolbar?

Thanks.

Default How to get to email from Word

It was never necessary to copy and paste into a blank email in Outlook. All
you ever needed to do from Word was to click on the Send to Mail Recipient
tool (in either Word 2002, Word 2003 or Word 2007).

When you click on that tool, it adds the standard email address bar to the
top of the windows which looks and feels identical to the blank email in
Outlook.

In Word 2007, you need to add this command button Send Mail to Recipient to
the QAT because Microsoft inexplicably left it off the Send Menu.

Default How to get to email from Word

But I don't want to send the entire Word document -- just the portion of it
that is my email. I take notes as I go through the day, and occasionally
compose an email that I then want to send. The email is just a small portion
of the day's notes. So, I compose the email, then cut and paste its text
into Outlook. The button I used in Word 2003 called up Outlook, opened a
blank email, and allowed me to paste in the text I had prepared in Word. I
also had a button that called up Outlook with an email already addressed to
my assistant, who is the recipient of about half of the 20 or so emails I
send each day -- very convenient. Amazing that such a useful feature would
be eliminated in an "updated" version of Word!

I appreciate your replies. however.

Unfortunately Outlook 2007 doesn't use all of Word 2007 as the email
editor - it uses a stub. Therefore you can't do what you used to do in 2003
in the same way.
However, I don't understand why you would compose an email in Word and then
paste the text into an email - why not just write the text directly into a
new email message?

Because in my Word document, I use macros that greatly simplify my composing
of the email. E.g., if I want to send an email to Jennifer, my ETJ macro
prepares the header, including To: Jennifer, From: George, it inputs the
client name into a line, etc. Then I sue another macro to select and
copy the whole email, hit the button that apparently no longer exists in
2007, then hit Control-V to insert everything into the blank email template.

Have you looked into the use of Forms in Outlook 2007?

I suspect what you are looking for is the 'Send To Mail Recipient' command
which you can add to the QAT.
or
You can select the text you want in your e-mail and run the following macro

Sub Send_Extract_As_Mail()
' send the document in an Outlook Email message
Dim bStarted As Boolean
Dim oOutlookApp As Outlook.Application
Dim oItem As Outlook.MailItem

On Error Resume Next

'Get Outlook if it's running
Set oOutlookApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")

'Outlook wasn't running, start it from code
If Err 0 Then
Set oOutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
bStarted = True
End If

'Create a new mailitem
Set oItem = oOutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With oItem
.to = "
.Subject = InputBox("Subject?")
.Body = Selection
.Display
End With
'Clean up
Set oItem = Nothing
Set oOutlookApp = Nothing
End Sub

If you want to pick the recipient delete the .to line

Hi Graham

In Word 2007 I select text and run macro but I get a compile error on below
line:

Dim oOutlookApp As Outlook.Application

User define type not defined. How can I resolve this please?
