Macro for sending Word doc via e-mail

[mgnezda]

If I want to send a word document via e-mail (as an attachment) I know I can
use the following code:

ActiveDocument.SendMail

This opens a new Outlook box and attaches the active word document -- this
is good, but..

How can I specify the name of who this is to be sent to. I don't want to
use the routing slip approach since that seems to include verbiage in the
actual text section of the mail indicating that the document needs to be
routed further -- I have only one recipient that the file is to go to. Is
there also a way of specifying the subject field verbiage as well as being
able to specify any text associated with the body of the mail message??

I tried using the same code that works well in doing this for Excel but this
does not work for Word (using the recipient's name etc..)

Doug,
Thanks for the information. I was hoping that I could avoid using the
routing slip method because of the "Disadvantages" that are listed in the
document you referenced. Thanks again for your help.

Look at the second method in the article.
