Word 2007 Crashes When Sending Document As Email

[Bob Buckland ?:-\)]

Monte,

The previous method does not send as an attachment it sends it as HTML email, as did prior versions. If you want a true .DOC or
..DOCx or .PDF or .XPS so that they render as seen in the original then those will be attachments.

Out of curiousity, where are you seeing the claim you refer to that you can email .doc files as part of the body of an email using
Outlook Express?

===============
Even with the "bug", a user still has the ability to send a Word 2007 DOCX
as an email attachment. But that is not the same as sending "the" document
as an email. Copy and pasting the contents of the document does not always
work because the formatting may shift or somehow become corrupt.

Bottom-line, the application is supposed to work in the fashion it was
designed and marketed. Microsoft can not continue to market the application
as having a certain function only to have it not ever work - and pretend they
never made that claim. that is why they are going to fix the "bug". It
would be nice and honest of Microsoft to publish an official disclaimer and
or notification to that effect. But that's just me.>>

Bob, I just want to be able to do what I've always done in Word. Send a Word
document as an email. My computer has Vista. Windows Mail is my default
email client. And if you are wondering where Microsoft makes the claim to be
able to do what I have described, just consult the help file from within the
progam and visit the Offoce website and read the sales pitch. Okay? I've
spoken to Microsoft numerous times about the "bug" - they assured me there
will be a "patch" - they are working on it. I am not intersted in any work
arounds or alternative methods. I want the application to work as it should
- no more and certainly, no less. I don't spend $150.00 on software and
passively accept the fact that the application does not function according to
claims made by the publisher. I would be getting screwed. I don't allow
that unless I'm emotionally involved. If you work for Microsoft, let me
know when you guys fix the problem. Take your time - get it right!
