Sending mail from within Office Apps problem

[krazo1961]

Hello,

I am using Outlook 2000 and have a question about sending a Word, Excel or PowerPoint document via e-mail from within those Apps using the Mail button on the Standard Toolbar.

Here is the deal when I decide I want to send the document I’m working on by e-mail I press the E-mail button fill in the address then press send. The problem is the message does not send.

I open Outlook and see it sitting in my Outbox. I have to press the ‘Send Receive button’ to get it to go out. I have the OL option checked to send messages immediately. I don’t know if having this option checked should extend to messages sent from Office Apps.

I have no problem sending or receive in messages using Outlook directly. Every thing sends as it should it’s just when I try to send from the Office Apps as described above that I have this happen.

Should I have Outlook open for this to work or am I missing something?

Thanks for your help,
Krazo1961

Yes, Outlook needs to be open in order to send immediately from Office
applications.
