Mac Forum / Applications / Word / May 2008Emailing Documents from Word 2007
If I want to send my Word document as an attachment (using Outlook 2007), I click on SEND and then EMAIL. Outlook opens and there is the Document shown as an attachment. I write a message in the body of the email and click SEND. A message appears "This message has not been sent" and the email page appears to have frozen. When I go to my Oulook "Sent Items" Folder, it has been sent. The recipient has received the emailed document (as an attachment), but without the email message. This is the same for any pictures I send from my picture folder or any links I send from web sites. I am using Vista. Help required please.  SignatureHezz Hello Hez, You've landed in a discussion group for users of Mac versions of Word (not your fault: it's a charming foible of MS's "discussions" web interface, which I see you used). Mac versions differ variously from PC versions. Although several people here use both PCs and Macs and may give you an answer soon, it's likely that more people in a PC group have experienced your specific problem. Here's where all the groups are listed: http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/FlyoutOverview.mspx Cheers, Clive Huggan Canberra, Australia (My time zone is 5-11 hours different from the Americas and Europe, so my follow-on responses to those regions can be delayed) ==================================================== On 4/5/08 4:31 PM, in article 44718814-B9E5-40EE-ABD8-0A3C996EA7E5@microsoft.com, "Hezz" > If I want to send my Word document as an attachment (using Outlook 2007), I > click on SEND and then EMAIL.

Thanks very much, Clive - I'm from Brisbane, BTW. when I tried to find the correct discussion group to send my question to, they were not in alphabetical order in the drop-down menu. As you can imagine, i quickly became frustrated after trawling through all those names! I finally hit upon a Word 2007 Group and only noticed my error after I had posted the question. Thanks again.

The "process" is dependent upon what email software you're using, what version of Word & whether you want to send it as an attachment or as HTML content. Post a new message including the information & I'm sure someone will be willing to help you out.

If one wants to send working word document to Mac or PC do the following: first choose what ever email client you desire. My preference is either SeaMonkey (Mozilla all in one) or Thunderbird. I will give directions based on those (since directions are identical). Entourage is so convoluted it give me a headache just to open it up. :-) create your document. save quit word. now while in find locate the created document and if you use either StuffIt, stuffit Deluxe, or even from finder locate create .zip. In finder go to file menu > create archive, after selecting the desired file. It will now change format to file with .zip extension example Bicycle_parts.doc after archive is created will show a new file called Bicycle_parts.zip. Now open either thunderbird or SeaMonkey and click on compose. (Make sure in SeaMonkey you go window menu and chose Mail & Newsgroups is selected.) create you message and click on attach button. Now locate the zip file created. Select click okay or Yes. press send and you message will get there. ON Mac's all the have to do is double click on the the zip file and decompresses. On PC they will have to use some form of unzip Winzip or PKUnzip to open the file. IF you know the person the other end uses a Mac and owns Stuffit Deluxe, Stuffit, Or Stuffit Expander; the ideal for mat is .sitx it compress the to 1/2 the size of .zip file. unlike PkWare's Zip application that has several levels of compression neither winzip nor the zip archive engine built into OSX does nothing more than change the encoding and in some cases actually increases the file size. I wish PKWare would have created a PKZIP and PKunZip for Mac. That was actually the most compressed method of file compression ever created. > The "process" is dependent upon what email software you're using, what > version of Word & whether you want to send it as an attachment or as HTML [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >> I want to send a word doc. by email and need the process.
