TSGL: Word to Email (Spellcheck in Windows Mail)

[Tilman Brandl]

Don,

<Is there an easy way to send from Word to Email? There's nothing in the
right-click menu that helps.>

most of the time I'm still with Word 2000 - there's a menu item under Files 
simply called 'Send To' where - as has been mentioned earlier - one can 
chose 'Email recipient' or 'Fax recipient'. No need to save it as a doc 
first, you just write a message or text, and send it off.

After checking Word 2007 on our Vista machine - surprise - it's pretty much 
the same: Click the Office button (top-left-corner), select 'Send | Email' 
or | Internetfax. I haven't tried this sofar. Alternatively: Help also 
describes the process of adding such command to the special mini-taskbar - 
just search for 'email send' and follow the steps to adjust Word-Options.
