Unable to send Word document as attachment to an email

I have recently installed Microsoft Office Standard on my new laptap which runs Windows 7 Professional.  When i am in Word and trying to send the document as an email attachment, I received an error dialogue box with the message "Word couldn't send
email because of MAPI failure: "Unspecified error"."  I clicked on the help button and have tried all the steps but no avail.
The work around is to open Outlook and create an email with an attachment.  This works BUT I would like to be able to use Word as it was designed.  Anyone have a similar issue and suggested correction?
Thanks!

Here is a simple solution sure to work.
1. Start
2. Search for Winword
3. Right Click Winword and choose properties ( I instead would choose open file location just to know where the rest of windows programs can be found. Once there, right click Winword again and choose properties.
4. Click compatabilty tab
5. Check run as administrator at the bottom
6. Apply
7. Do the same for all Office programs If so desired (on the same file location where you found winword just look for Excel, Powerpoint, etc. and make sure the file you choose is an application type file)
Jic, it is not obligatory to apply the above solution for to all Office programs. You can do it just to the ones you want to send email from. If you only need Word to have this functionality just do it for Winword and thats it.

  • How can I send a word document as the body of email

    I have documents that are based on Word Templates that I wish to send to clients. The documents require a reply with input in a table that needs completed by the client.
    I understand there is a way to make the Word document in effect become the email and sent through TB.
    Can someone explain what I need to do i.e. settings in Word and TB.
    I don't want to send the documents either as pdf or attachment.

  • Email word document as attachment

    I have a template in word document with some variables and text in color, bold, grey etc. stored in UNIX directory.
    My goal is to replace variable with customer name, number dynamically and then
    send email this word document as an attachment in class cl_bcs.
    How can I load this word document into internal table, search and replace the variable dynamically and email the document as an attachment without loosing the color, bold font etc.  I tried the approach Open dataset, read dataset, find and replace variable but when I send email ( using document type = 'DOC' and content as 255 char), I click on the attachment and the file was corrupted.
      Thanks for your input.

    Hi,
    You can try adding the attaching the content in HEX format. Refer to the below source code-
    CALL METHOD document->add_attachment
                EXPORTING
                  i_attachment_type    = ls_attachments-file_type
                  i_attachment_subject = ls_attachments-file_name
                  i_att_content_hex    = ls_attachments-attachx[].
    Refer to this below links for an example-

  • Sending word documents

    Can I send a word document or a spreadsheet to someone that has windows via email and then they are able to view it.

    When sending attachments to Windows users, the file extension must be included with the file name and the only purpose the Send Windows Friendly selection is designed for is removing the Apple resource fork from attached files which are invisible to fellow Mac users.
    A successfully sent message (a message will remain in the Outbox mailbox and not be moved to the account's Sent mailbox if the message cannot be sent for whatever reason) is either accepted or rejected by the recipient's incoming mail server. Received messages rejected by the recipient's incoming mail server usually include a return email error message sent to the sender indicating why the message was not accepted but not always which depends on the recipient's email account provider and incoming mail server.
    For successfully sent messages not received by the recipient, you need to contact the email account provider for the account being used to send these messages or if you are using an SMTP server to send messages with this account that is not provided by the email account provider for the account, you need to contact the provider for the SMTP server used.
    Have the long message headers available for these sent messages in case it is requested and the recipient needs to contact their email account provider for the account you are trying to send the messages to that are not being received. Your email address or the domain for your email account or a range of IP addressed may be blocked by the recipient's incoming mail server but none of these problems are caused by Mail if these messages were successfully sent which is indicated by the messages being available in the account's Sent mailbox.

  • Problems sending Word documents

    Whenever I attach word documents to my emails, the recepients do not even receive the message. And this doesn't only happen when I send them to PC users. It happens even when I check the "windows compatible" box and when I add an extension. Sometimes I have the problem with PDF files as well.
    I use the Apple Mail program to send my messages.
    Thank you for helping me solve this very annoying problem.

    Many mail servers cap their message sending or receiving at 4MB.  If you are sending your own work that you want distributed by someone else, check with your internet provider if they can temporarily raise that restriction and the recipient's mail server can temporarily raise those restrictions.   Better would be for both of you to be able to access a webhosting site to share the material and use some FTP programs to send the file to each other.    If it is an MPEG-3 of a commercial CD's music, we can't help you as such distribution is illegal.

  • Unable to Open Word Documents Since Mavericks 10.9.5 Update

    Since updating to Mavericks 10.9.5, I can no longer open Word documents that were created/edited between 8-27 and 9-18-14, and that I had opened 9-17 and earlier.  I receive the following message when I attempt to open a document:
    "Word cannot open this document.  The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document,
    or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example, \ /)."
    I have Microsoft Word for Mac 2011, version 14.3.5., and a MacBook Air 1.8GHz, Intel Core i7, mid 2011.  Can you help?

  • Unable to save Word documents when accessing them directly from the site because the document never converts from a read-only even though the User chooses to enable editing

    Issue has only popped up recently and cannot reproduce in a Test environment.  Unaware of any SharePoint changes, so hoping someone can point me in the correct direction.
    Previously Word document did not have to be physically checked out, but rather the editing of the doc also checked out the doc in a document library. This is the way we want it to remain –
    no manual check-out process. Now if a doc is edited without being checked-out, there is an issue with the process as the application thinks the doc is read-only (message received when trying to save the doc) even if enable editing is selected. The
    following message appears when you try to save the document:
      This message can appear if you have been editing a file that was opened as read-only. A file opened as read-only will have (Read-Only) appended to the file name as it appears in the title bar of Word. You can still save the document, but you must
    save it by using a different file name. If you use Windows Explorer to change the read-only properties of the file, while the file is open in Word, it will not enable Word to save the file. Word must open a non-read-only version of the file in order to save
    it by using its original file name. If you have not made any changes to the file, you can close it, and then use the following steps to make the file writeable. 1. Click the File tab, and then click Open. 2. Browse to the file and right-click it. 3. Click
    Properties, and then clear the Read-Only check box. 4. Reopen the file. If you have made changes to a read-only file, you can save it, and then use the following steps to give the modified file the original file name. 1. Click the File tab, and then click
    Save As. 2. Enter a different file name, and then click Save. 3. NOTE: Adding "Rev1", or "Mod1" to the original file name may help you to remember it later. 4. Click the File tab, and then click Close. 5. Open Windows Explorer. 6. Browse
    to the original read-only file. 7. Rename the read-only file. 8. Browse to the new file. 9. Rename the new file to the name of the original file. Do not delete the read-only file until after you have determined you no longer need it.
    Previously, when check-out was optional, a file was checked out automatically when someone opened it for editing, unless it was already checked out. The editing commands notified the User that the file is being/was checked out.  The real issue is the
    word doc can no longer be saved as the application still believes the doc is read-only.

    Hi, 
    According to your description, you give the domain admin full control over files on the old file server, but you cannot move the files to the new file server. After pull the files from the old to the new file server, the domain admin can only read the files
    on the new file server.
    How did you move the files from the old file server to the new file server? Did you setup replication between the two file server or use robocopy? 
    Please check the files permissions on the new file server to see if the permissions are changed, then share the folder on the new file server to everyone to see the result.
