Sending Documents as Email
Working in Office, you can send the current document as an email attachment.
- Choose File - Send - Email Document.
Office opens your default email program. If you want to send the current document with another email program, you can select the program to use with Internet - Email in the Options dialogue box.
- In your email program, enter the recipient, subject and any text you want to add, then send the email.
In case you want to send the email to a recipient who only has software that cannot read the OpenDocument format, you can send the current document in an often used proprietary format.
For a text document, choose File - Send - Email as Microsoft Word. For a spreadsheet, choose File - Send - Email as Microsoft Excel. And for a presentation, choose File - Send - Email as Microsoft PowerPoint.
If you want to send the document as a read-only file, choose File - Send - Email as PDF.
These commands do not change your current document. Only a temporary copy is created and sent.
