Send to e-mail within Office
I've got Office 2007 Home and Student running in Vista Home Premium on a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop and my Mail client is Windows Mail. I am having problems with sending docs via mail from within office programmes:
Excel gives an option to send to internet fax only;
Word gives this option and a greyed out option to send to e-mail
PowerPoint gives both options and they work.
As far as I know the Office suite has all the 'out the box' configurations. Does anyone know if this is just an application configuration issue - and if so where the configuration settings are - or if there's some other problem?
Many thanks in advance for any advice.
office 2007 home and student does not include outlook.
outlook is required for the 'send' buttons in word/excel/powerpoint to work.
in addition to having outlook installed (which you don't), outlook must be the selected as the default email client.
without outlook your only option to sending a word/excel/powerpoint document is to attache it to your email message composed in your non-outlook email client.
this article is microsoft speak for saying the very same in their long winded, complicated, and confusing way...
