You can also send your Word document as a file attached to the e-mail message. To do this, click the File menu, choose Send To, and choose Mail Recipient (As Attachment).

This will take you out of Word and create a new e-mail message (with the document attached) in your default e-mail program (such as Microsoft Office Outlook 2003). Typically, you would type in your recipients, add a subject, and type your message in the body of the e-mail. Then, you can click Send to put your e-mail on its way. (The exact steps for creating and sending an e-mail can differ widely between e-mail applications, so we’re not going to get into specifics.)
