Using Gmail "GB" <NOTsomeone[ at ]microsoft.com> 11/25/2008 10:29:10 AM My wife uses Word and she uses Gmail (the web interface). Is there any relatively simple way to let her email documents from Word using Gmail? I don't fancy teaching her to use Outlook just for this one purpose.

Just noticed something on the Gmail site called GMail Notifier. If I install that, will it do the job?

Re: Using Gmail "Terry Farrell" <terryfarrell[ at ]msn.com> 11/25/2008 10:53:20 AM No. You need to use Windows Mail (or Outlook Express or Outlook) as your default email editor and set it up to automatically collect (synchronise) GMAIL email (which Google explains how to do). Then you can email directly from Word. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "GB" <NOTsomeone[ at ]microsoft.com> wrote in message news:492bd473$0$2532$da0feed9[ at ]news.zen.co.uk...

Re: Using Gmail "Terry Farrell" <terryfarrell[ at ]msn.com> 11/25/2008 3:49:38 PM Gordon Can you send directly from Word if you use Thunderbird as your default mail client?
