Send a Document

If you need to distribute your document to a specific list of reviewers from different departments and you have a tight deadline to meet, use e-mail messages to send your document quickly and efficiently. Each person can review it and return comments individually. When you send a document, you have two options:

  Start from your e-mail application, and then attach the document you want to send. For more information, see the documentation for your e-mail application.

  Start from the application that you’re working in (Word, for example), click Send To (File menu), and then click Mail Recipient to send a copy of the document you’re working on. If you’re sending from Microsoft Access, select a format for the document, and then click Send (File menu). This starts your e-mail application, as shown in the following illustration.

Want to send a fax instead of an e-mail message?   Click Send To (File menu), and then click Fax Recipient to send a fax. To send a fax, you must have a modem and fax software. For more information, see Create a Fax Cover Sheet and Send a Fax.
