Word files

[Peter]

Can anyone please tell why Word 2007 automatically saves your most recent
documents and can this feature be turned off? When I attach a single file
from Word it seems to send all the recent files in word and can be viewed by
the recipient. How can I isolate and attach one single file? Also, the send
e-mail icon is grayed out, how can I e-mail a document directly from Word
2007?

You apparently landed in the Mac Rod group by mistake.... Though if I
quite remember, this point has been raised several times in the Windows
group. Unless I'm mistaking, there is a tool to strip all meatadata
from Office documents. You might want to Google it,

Hi Peter:

It does this because you have turned the option on in the Word 2007 options.
Look up "recent files" in the Help and turn it off again.

Also look up "Remove personal information from the file" and turn that ON.

I am a bit puzzled as to how you are attaching the file: and in which email
program. I have never had Word 2007 or any other version of Word send more
than one if I have only one selected.

The Send Email icon will be greyed out until you install and correctly
configure a MAPI-compliant email program such as Outlook or Outlook Express
(Windows Live Mail). Thunderbird is a great email program, but
MAPI-compliant it ain't, so this function (and mail-merge to email) is not
supported.

If you are using webmail, here's your opportunity to upgrade to something a
bit more business-like. Outlook should have been installed if you installed
Microsoft Office to get Word. Start it and it will talk you through
configuring an account.

If you have a stand-alone version of Word, use Outlook Express (known as
Windows Live Mail in Windows Vista). It's an accessory program of the
operating system. Again, start it, and it will talk you through configuring
itself.

Hope this helps
