| After you create a document, you can quickly send it via e-mail from within Word, without starting your e-mail program. You simply point to Send on the Office menu, and click E-mail to display a message window. The current document is already attached to the message, so all you have to do is enter the e-mail addresses of anyone you want to receive the message and its attachment. If you want, you can modify the subject line, which contains the name of the document you are sending. Tip If your organization uses SharePoint products and technologies to enhance collaboration and you have permission to create workspaces on a SharePoint site, you can create a document workspace when sending a document in e-mail by using Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. Before you send your message, in the message window, click the Attachment File button in the Include group on the Message tab, and then click Attachments Options. In the Attachment Options task pane, click the Shared Attachments option, and specify the URL for the site. For more information about document workspaces, see "Using Document Workspaces" later in this chapter.

BE SURE TO have an e-mail program installed on your computer and an e-mail account set up before beginning this exercise. Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 is recommended.

Faxing a Document In addition to sending a document as an e-mail attachment from within Word, if you have signed up with an Internet fax service provider, you can send it as a fax. Although the exact terms vary from one provider to another, these services let you send and receive faxes from your computer without needing a fax machine or dedicated fax line. After establishing Internet fax service, you can send the current document to the fax service by clicking the Microsoft Office Button, pointing to Send, and then clicking Internet Fax. You then follow the procedure specified by your fax service provider. If you have not yet signed up with an Internet fax service provider, when you click Internet Fax, a message box appears. Clicking OK opens a Web page where you can choose a fax service provider. |
