Email as PDF attachment

[sharonrego]

When I go to Office Button > Send > Email as PDF attachment, I get an error
which says "Logon failed. You must log on to Microsoft Exchange to access
your address book. Error code: "Unspecified Error"."
When I use the same function in Microsoft Powerpoint, I am able to send it
with no errors.
Could you please explain how I can rectify this ?

Do you have Outlook configured as your default e-mail application?

I have 'Windows Live Mail' configured as my default e-mail application.

You need it to be Outlook in order to access the address book from Word.

If that is true, how is it possible that my current default e-mail works with
Powerpoint?

 

[Graham Mayor]

The issue is not that you cannot e-mail from Word with other applications,
but that you cannot access the Address Book (which is part of Outlook) from
Word, hence the error message. FWIW - address book aside - if you use the
tool to send as PDF attachment using Windows Live Mail, the PDF file does
not appear to be attached to the message in the web dialog.

If you have Outlook, you may find

You can, however, use the Address Book of the mail client you're using
(Outlook Express in my case).

I get the same message trying to email a document in word. When I send as an
attachment it seems my entire word program goes with it and the mail
recipient can open my other documents. Is that true?. I am also waiting for
a response about this error code and using microsoft exchange. Help

I still do not understand. I have outlook express 6 for my emailing program.
While in word 2007 the icon for email is shaded (not usable) only the
attachment. When I go of office button, send, email I get that same error
message about microsoft exchange. Can you explain further. Thank you

What is it that you don't understand?
Microsoft Word requires Outlook as the default e-mail application in order
to access the address book.
You can use OE6 as an e-mail application from Word, but it will not give you
access to the Address Book function.
If the e-mail button is unavailable - see The "E-mail" command is missing or
is unavailable in Excel 2007, in PowerPoint 2007, or in Word 2007

As previously noted, you *can* access the OE address book. And your answer
doesn't address the error message about Microsoft Exchange.
