Sending files as attatchments to email recipients directly from Word or Excel

[Elliot Wicks]

In the past, I have made extensive use of the Word menu item that
allows one to send the document one is working on directly to an email
recipient without leaving Word. The menu item sequence is: file --
send to -- mail recipient. For the last several weeks, the option to
send to mail recipient has been disabled (grayed out). I can't figure
out why. I think this may have happend about the time I updated to the
latest versoin of the Mac OS operating system, or perhaps when I
downloaded a demo version of Office 2004, but I'm not sure. Any help
on how to restore this function would be much appreciated.

Hi,

Maybe you or a program caused your computer to not know what email program
is the default one to use.

Try going to Safari's preferences and choosing a default email program to
use.

The email preferences are not in Safari. They're in the preferences of Apple
Mail in Panther: in Jaguar they're in the Internet System Preferences..

Thanks for the correction, Paul.

My G5 is in the shop, so I have to do a lot of stuff from memory.

I suspect Jim means go to MAIL.APP and use the preferences in MAIL to set
your preferred mail client
