microsoft office

Quick question about microsoft office. When I type up a letter and want to email it to somebody it sends the document along with the tools to alter it. I am missing something too simple here. All I need to do is email the typed document.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What I do is save the document in a folder. I then open my email and attach the doc to the email. I dont send them using the Word's "send to" option. Sorry if its 'clear as mud'

That is it, my daughter showed us but now just rolls her eyes and says she doesn't know how.

please enlighten me on the process!

"the tools"  is probably a viewer as not everyone has Word.  A better option would be to send it as a PDF.

that is the problem, can not figure out how to even save it to a folder with out all of the tool bars associated with it.

pm me you email addy and I will show you what I mean.

What version of MS Office and which application are you using?

control S will save it to your docs. know where your save folder is.  it's usually your documents folder.  then go to your email program, choose attach, you should get a box that lets you find your doc folder, choose the doc and click open (usually), and doc will attach to email.

are you sure you are not trying to send a doc out of the draft folder??

Thanks all, we finally figured it out. Need to save it as a  .docx  file to be able to send it as a file that can just be viewed.
