You can send your Excel workbooks via email with Outlook directly from Excel. You have a choice to send to either one recipient or to a distribution list of multiple recipients. The nice part is that you don't have to leave Excel to send your documents to others. Sending to One RecipientTo send an Excel workbook to one recipient, open the workbook you want to send. Choose File, Send To, and select Mail Recipient (as Attachment) or click the Email button on the Standard toolbar. Excel's Office Assistant asks if you want to send the entire workbook as an attachment or send the current sheet as the message body. Choose the option you want. If you choose the workbook attachment option, you should see the Outlook message window, illustrated in Figure 48.10. Figure 48.10. Send someone an attached spreadsheet.
Set up the Outlook information requested in the message window, and type your email mail message. Notice that Excel automatically attached the workbook to your email message. Click the Send button to send your message with the attached workbook via Outlook. If you choose to insert the current sheet in the message body, you will see the Outlook message window, shown in Figure 48.11. Figure 48.11. Send a spreadsheet from within Excel.
Complete the address information at the top of the message window. Notice that Excel automatically inserted the current sheet into the email message box. Click the Send This Sheet button to send your message with the worksheet as the message body via Outlook. |
