Re: E-mail right out of Word (was one of the things I HATE)

[Guest guest]

Jayni bemoaned her Word predicament when commenting:

" I'm still in Word 97, and I find when I try this from that version it

automatically makes what I'm trying to send an attachment. "

Oh yes you CAN, Jayni, and no extra money required (though the new version of

Word is fantastic). In Word, click on Tools/Options, then on the General tab.

UNcheck the " Mail as Attachment " box and then when you choose " Send To " your

document will become the body of the email text.

Oh, sorry, I did forget to mention that I am using Word 2000. I just

recently found out about this ability to E-mail from Word myself so I have

no idea if there is a workaround for Word 97. Maybe others on the list will

know...
