I needed to e-mail a friend a word document that I had opened and I saw under File, a Send to -> Mail Recipient (as attachment) option but it's faded. Anyone know why?
Is your "Mail" client up and running?
Have you tried to "Repair disk permissions"?
What is your setup?
has it worked before?
can you send other documents?
i'm guessing you actually have a document open when you're trying this, right? (silly question, but one must ask)
i don't use office on my macbook, but i do use it every day at work, so just thinking about basic troubleshooting steps.
are you trying to achieve this from Windows XP in Boot Camp?
You will also need to make sure that you have a default email program set for your OS. To set this, open up Mail, then go to Preferences. Under the General tab, choose your default email app from the drop down menu for "Default Email Reader".Word Help said:To send documents, you need one of the following Mac OS X-compatible programs:
• Microsoft Entourage
• Eudora
• Mailsmith
Notes
• You cannot send documents from Microsoft Office if your default e-mail program runs in the Classic environment.
• Sending documents in e-mail might not work across electronic mail gateways.
• If you're sending a document to someone who uses Microsoft Office for Windows, be sure to add a file extension to the end of the file name. You can add the extension when you save your presentation by selecting the Append file extension check box in the Save As dialog box.
