Why can't I share word documents directly from Word to mail any more?

Hi all
I just wondered if anyone could help with this annoying problem. It is probably to do with Mail, but it manifests itself in MS Word (latest version, updates complete).
I use to be able to share Word docs directly into Mail, using hte file>share>email as attachment but for a few weeks now I have not been able to do this. What I get is mail opens (or my MBP switches to the space I have Mail open in) and I get a new blank mail message, but in Word I get a rainbow wheel and it no longer attaches the document directly into the mail message.
Has anyone come across this?
I have managed to get it working a couple of times with a re-start, but it just goes back to the fault I described above.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

Looks like the key is to repair permissions and then restart.

Why can't I open my emails in the new Yahoo Mail any more? It was ok until Yahoo upgraded it.

Yesterday I upgraded my Yahoo mail and at first the auto complete email address didn't work and now I can't open my emails to read them. The page just freezes. Can you help me please?

This is probably an issue with the new Yahoo code that Yahoo needs to fix on their site.<br />
You can try to contact them or post on a Yahoo forum if there is such a forum for problems with Yahoo! Mail.

Yes.
Just use iCloud for the new computer.

Browsing ms-word document directly from portal content window.

Hi,
I must make ms-word document directly browsing from portal content window.
Is there a blog mention about it?
Thanks.

First, thanks for your reply. It's greatly appreciated. However, the level of your response fails to address the scope of the original question. Your first supposition is incorrect, that most MS Word docs copy uneventfully into the body of Gmail emails. This only applies to the most basic of MS Word docs (i.e., those utilizing minimal formatting, such as basic letters, etc.) and otherwise runs contrary to dozens of online complaints posted by users such as myself (though not on the Firefox website). Second, everyone knows you can add an attachment to Gmail emails. In this case, the recipient will not accept attachments of any kind, and has therefore asked that the content be copied directly into the email body. This is not uncommon in these cases. Third, the very nature of Notepad makes it unable to translate/interpret any documents beyond the most basic, hence its name: Notepad. Fourth, apparently this problem is rare or virtually non existent with other browsers, as all the complaints online appear to be Firefox related. Again, however, I appreciate you taking a stab at this.

TS1702 why can't I find the quickoffice app in the app store any more?

the orignal app I bought for $9.95 is no longer offered and I can't reinstall on my iphone

Ask the app developer.
It's highly unlikely that the users in this user to user technical support forum could offer any more insight as to why it's been removed.

Using icloud, why can't i share a document created on my mac, and while out of town, access the document on my macbook pro. icloud should do this.

I create a document at home on my mac.
while out of town on a trip and using icloud and my macbook pro, I should be able to access this document.
If not, what good is icloud.

'Documents in the Cloud' enables you to manually upload iWork '09 documents (only) to the iCloud webpage: from there is will automatically be downloaded to iOS5 devices, but you cannot re-download it to your Mac oir to another Mac until it's been edited on an iOS device, so it's not really suitable for what you want, and you cannot do it at all with other types of file.
You will need a third-party solution. SugarySync would be my recommendation - it can do what you want completely seamlessly - this page examines that and some other options:

Why can't I open Pages documents transferred from iPad?

I am unable to open Pages 09 documents transferred via iTunes and USB cable to my iMac (OS 10.6.8), error indicates "index.xml" missing. Where does that come from?

Pages 2 on the iPad uses Pages 5 file format, but even that can vary as Pages 5 and Pages 5.01 on the Mac can't open Pages 5.1 files.
Yes you are right, the whole thing is one ginormous mess, thanks be to Apple.
Far from getting painless round transfer between iOS, OSX and PCs we are getting in practice very limited compatibility even between Macs and iOS devices and reports of files that abruptly refuse to open anywhere and can not be rescued because they are in an overly complicated file format.
Go to the iTunes Store and the App Store and rate/review the latest Pages.

Why can't I share or send files from my iphone to my macbook pro using Bluetooth?

I cannot believe Apple has not fixed this problem. This should be intergrated in their OS. And it is not. Shame on Apple.

Only a few PDFs require Adobe Acrobat. Preview should be able to open most. What happens if you Option click the PDF link and open it from your download folder using the control-click Open-with Preview?

I have payed for Adobe acrobat pro but now i can not convert a pdf document to a word format, why?

I have payed for Adobe acrobat pro for one year and it is valid to november 2015, but now i can not convert a pdf document to a word format, why ?

Hi m_karhulinna,
If you have Acrobat Pro, you can save directly to Word format from within Acrobat by choosing File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.
(It sounds like you may be trying to use the ExportPDF online service, which is separate from Acrobat, and not necessary in your case.)
Best,
Sara

I am guessing you are using an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. This is the forum for MacBooks, the computer, so the mail works differently.
You will want to ask your question in the correct forum.

Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

Why can't I print a document from iphone5 to hp wireless printer?

Why can't I print a document from iphone5 to hp wireless printer?

Try the following steps.
Power off the printer.
Reset the phone by holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.
Power cycle your router. Disconnect it from power for about 30 seconds and then power it back on.
Once it has completed the reboot, then power the printer back on and make sure it connects to the wi-fi network
Open the content on the phone that you want to print and attempt printing it again.
If that does not do it, then check to see if there is any newer firmware for the printer from HP.
