Microsoft Outlook 2007, sending email from Word 2003 - Unable to send doc as email

Hi

I have just installed Outlook 2007 to work with Exchange 2007 on my network.
I have Office 2003 installed, (upgraded Outlook to 2007 only).

I now have lost the ability to send a word document as an email. I have certain templates in work from which I use to send to people and need to send the word document as the body of the email.

Can this no longer be done between Outlook 2007 and Word 2003?
I could do this easily with Outlook 2003 installed.

(I have been through the customisation of Word and I have tried the icon (Mail Recipient (For Review) or Mail Recipient (As attachment)..but this doesn't show the body.

I've added an icon which simply says 'Mail Recipient' but im unable to highlight it.
Anyone got any clues?

Thanks,
Mark

What if you use Word 2007 instead of word 2003 ?

JOrzech,

LOL!

This technique seems to be all the rage this week:

Hmmm. Both these macros don't allow me to bring up a To: or Subject: box to be able to select the addresses and subject, like with Outlook 2003 installed. Or am I missing something?

Ooops, don't use my code, it was designed for MS Access, I just posted it here for JOrzech's reference.

Sorry that I did not make that clear in my post.
