Emailing Documents from Word 2007

[Hezz]

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.

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:

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.

Hezz

I want to send a word doc. by email and need the process.

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
content. Post a new message including the information & I'm sure someone
will be willing to help you out.
