Emailing from Word 2007

Hi

Just a quicky reply for now as your on a network and at times depending on how strict your IT dept is they could be blocking specific attachments going through your Exchange Server, so worth giving the techs a call to check on what they block as attachemnts. I know I have to zip up Access DB files as they are not sent via my works email.

To test can you save a doc to your desktop and then open up Outlook and then drag the doc to the Subject line to attach and then send to a recipient? Just to bypass Words option to Send via Attachment to rule out Word and a setting being the cause.

 

Hi

I tried this at both home and work, at home non of the Office apps by defualt send email to outlook as I need Exchange and to be on a network, however in work as I'm on Exchange server the docs send to Outlook ok (have a default install of Office 2007 in work from 2 days ago no adjuctments to settings), so first port of call is your IT dept to check they have not enabled a Group Policy blocking this in Exchange, especially is Outlook is set as your default Email application.


You could chec to see if an add-on is causing this as some antivirus applications can cause issues with their add-ins email scanning, so open up Outlook and click Tools > Trust Center > Add-ons > at the bottom click Go next to Com Add-ins and then untick all the add-ins and close Outlook and then try sending a doc from Word, if it works then enable one add-in at a time in Outlook by ticking it again and see if you can find the culprit.

Could be a corrupt Office, so run Office Diagnostics from MS Word > Word Options > Resources > Office Diagnostics.
