Mail Recipient (as attachment) ArcticWolf 14.09.2006 11:46:01 I have a Word document that is being competed by people with little or no computer knowledge. When they have completed the doc they save it to HD and then use Outlook 2002 to email the attachment - usually by opening Outlook and then attaching the doc. I know there is a Mail recipient button which they can press and it will auto attach the file to a new email. My question is, can I create/insert a button into the doc itself which when pressed auto attachs the file to a new email (instead of them having to point to file-send to-mail recipient) and if it is possible, how can I do this please? Many thanks in advance. AW

RE: Mail Recipient (as attachment) Edwin 14.09.2006 13:01:02 Hi ArcticWolf, When you put the button on yhe form from the 'Control toolbox' toolbar, doubleclick on the button (In designmode) and put in the Visual basixc editor between Sub and End Sub the following command: ActiveDocument.SendMail Exit designmode and save the doc and test it. This could be you answer. Edwin. "ArcticWolf" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I have a Word document that is being competed by people with little or no > computer knowledge.

Re: Mail Recipient (as attachment) "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" <dkr[ at ]REMOVECAPSmvps.org> 15.09.2006 18:30:06 See the article "How to send an email from Word using VBA" at: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/InterDev/SendMail.htm I wouldn't however be putting a button in the document, rather, I would have a button on the toolbar that ran a macro. -- Hope this helps.
