Automatically sending a daily report in word as an attachment

[Tom]

I hope you can help with this. I have a daily report that needs to be mailed
to a co-worker. It is a simple list of clients served in a word 2003
document. I would like to automate the process. I right clicked on a toolbar
and went to customize, I found the command send mail recipient as attachment
and dragged the button to the standard toolbar. I assigned an email hyperlink
to it. The button works perfectly as far as sending an email automatically
but it doesn't send the contents of the document on the screen. I want the
current document to be attached to the email as it is sent. What am I doing
wrong. I saved the report and reopened it , typed in new information and
still nothing. Any sugggestions

Thanks
Tom
