How do I send a word document by email directly from Word?

[jeanne]

I can't send a word document from my Word Office Program. I have Microsoft
Vista. Any help would be appreciated.

Word is not an e-mail program although it does have some facilities which
use whatever e-mail program you do have. What are you trying to do and what
happens when you try it? And what version of Word do you have?

I'm experimenting with the following....

Dim oOutlookApp As Outlook.Application
Dim oItem As Outlook.MailItem
Set oOutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set oItem = oOutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
oItem.Subject = "Email Subject"
oItem.Body = "Email Mesage"
oItem.Display
Set oItem = Nothing
Set oOutlookApp = Nothing

And...?

What are you trying to do?

Why can't you do ActiveDocument.Sendmail?

I appreciate your taking the time to write. I am a teacher and I want to
type up documents, especially my lesson plans, from home and send them to my
computer at school. I've found out that my "fancy" Home and Student Office
(WORD) doesn't have Outlook and that may be the problem. I have no problem
sending email, it's just typing a document and sending it from the Word
program.

Thank you again..............Jeanne

Hi Fred - Thank you for writing. I'm a teacher and trying to send lesson
plans from home to school so I don't need to stay there all night and on the
weekends! I found out that without Outlook on my home computer I may not be
able to do that. Thank you for your help. Jeanne

You don't need Outlook to send e-mail from Word - your normal e-mail program
will do.

What happens when you select File > Send To > E-mail as attachment from the
Menu?

Thanks for writing again, Tony. When I go to "send" it is not highlighted
and I can't perform the function. I have to save it to "my documents" and
then forward from there.

What e-mail program do you use - and is it set as default e-mail program?
