Quick Tips: E-mail documents from within Word Video Transcript

[ background music ]

>> Hi, I'm Molly Wood, and here's a quick tip on how to quickly email someone a document in Microsoft Word. Now the old way is to open up an email, click the attach paper clip, browse to document, choose it, and then send. But here's how to do it much faster. In Word 2007 click the Office button in the upper left corner, and choose send. Then choose email. Word will automatically open a new email, attach your document, and use the document title as the subject of the email. Now actually note that if you subscribe to an internet fax service like eFax, you can enjoy that option too. The email sending works in earlier versions of Word too, where you'll find the send option slightly further down in the file menu. [ music ]
