Re: Send to mail recipient greyed out (Office for Mac)

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I think the File | Send To As Attachment command doesn't cooperate with Thunderbird. It works fine here when my default email program is Entourage or Mail, but when I set the default email program to Thunderbird, File | Send To as Attachment greys out for me too.

File | Send To As HTML will *only* work with Entourage as the default email program, by the way--in fact, it won't even show up without that.

Just by the way: I believe, but am not entirely sure, that in general stuff that was in the registry in Windows is in preferences on the Mac. But every app keeps its own preference file, where it saves the settings that are in Word | Preferences or Excel | Preferences dialogs. But it's not really applicable in this case, anyhow.

Hi,

I just switched to Mac (what a relief!) but I encountered a problem with a (ah) MS Office. I noticed this same quirk when I was using a PC, but fixed it through the registry.

Here is what happens: the option to send a document as an e-mail attachment (under 'File', 'Send to') is grayed out. In Windows I eventually solved this by changing registry setting, but how would I go about this on a Mac?

I am a copywriter (not English so that explains the crappy phrasing) and have to use this feature often.

I have a brand new iMac and use Thunderbird for e-mail. Latest Office. All updates.

Thanks in advance!
