Sending an e-mail from Word

[jackdash]

I read that you can send a word document as an e-mail direct from Word.
Using the following method:
From the Word document select the Office button and choose Send, then click the E-Mail option.
When I try to do this my computer hangs up and I have to go into Task Manager to end it.
I would like to know what I am doing wrong.

Thanks

Thanks, but that document does not work for me. It's using Word 2003 which must differ from the version I am using which is Office 2007, and my mail program is Microsoft Outlook.

i know..maybe you should try this trick..
i have try it.
right click the quick access toolbar and choose "more commands" if you don't know where is it, this the link
Customize the Quick Access Toolbar - Support - Microsoft Office
then set "choose commands from" to "all commands" in the list of commands scroll down to "send to mail recipient"
click on send to mail recipient then click add. click OK on the bottom.

now you can use that tool to toggle ON/OFF emails header for sending the current windows contents as an email.

Good luck ~

I went through the proceedure to add: "Send to Mail Recipient" to the Quick Access toolbar.
When I am in the Word document I want to send I click this link on the quick access toolbar and nothing happens.

Is Outlook chosen as default email client?

Outlook is my only e-mail program.

Being the only email client you have installed does not automatically mean it is chosen as default client. I had reason to ask you to check this. I've seen cases where for instance using Opera Mail (in Opera Browser) has changed the default client.

Has anyone solved this issue yet? I am experiencing the same thing.
I have "Send to Mail Recipient" in the WORD Quick Access Tool Bar, but when I click it, nothing happens. (It works fine in my older computer with Windows 2003)

Anyone find a fix for this?

Funky?

I have had trouble in the past with this. I tried the suggestions in post 5.

It worked, but the window that come up to select the recepient seemed to freeze at first and did not respond to selecting an addressee. I called up task manager and it said it was running. Soooo I waited. The window finally became active after 15 or 20 seconds and would respond.
