E: Email from Word

E is for Email directly from Word/Excel/PowerPoint

This is a fairly new option. Before, if you wanted to email someone a Word file, you would have to open an Outlook message and then add an attachment. To add the attachment you would have to go find the file to add.

Below are the steps for Word but they are almost identical for Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher.
