Options for Sending Your Word 2007 Documents

By , About.com Guide

As in previous versions of Word, Word 2007 lets you send documents electronically without opening Outlook. However, Word 2007 provides new options for sending your documents.

To send a document electronically, follow these steps:

1. Click the Office Button

2. Select Send

3. Choose the appropriate option for sending your document

Most people will choose the first option, sending the document in Word format as an email attachment. Some people will be interested in the other options. You can opt to send your document as a PDF attachment or an XPS attachment.

In order to send your document in PDF or XPS format, you’ll need the Save as PDF add-in for Word. For more information on the add-in, read my tip. It also contains a link to the add-in.

Finally, there is one last option you can select. You can send the document as an Internet fax. In order to use this option, you must be registered for an Internet fax service.
