Email Documents From The Source
Most of the time when we’re done with a document we save it, close it, and
then bring up our email program. We create a new message, click on attachments
and then hunt down the @#$! document… what folder was it in? Which version am
I sending? Is this the one for the managers or the engineering department?
Aaarrrgggh!
A much easier way to send documents is to use the Send option from the File
menu in all of the MS Office standard menus.
When you’re finished editing your spreadsheet, document, presentation or
publication, just save it and then click on File > Send To…
You should see an option Mail Recipient (as attachment). Click it and
a new message will pop up with your document as an attachment. Address it, add a
note and you’re done!
A word of caution: The dialog box that shows up is modal. What
that means is that you must cancel the email or finish it and send it before
Outlook will let you do anything else. You can’t view calendars, create other
emails or see your To Do List until the dialog box is dismissed. It’s not
normally a problem—when you’re ready to send your email, send it. But if
something else distracts you before you hit that send button you may think your
whole system has hung!
