Microsoft Word 2013 Create Form

What is the simplest method of creating a form in Microsoft Word 2013 that will save the current document, attach it to a new email window with the recipients and subject line already filled in? The user then just writes a quick message and sends it.

I've been searching all over the Internet, but most answers are for older versions of Word. I need this to work in Word 2013 and Word 2010.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Have you looked at InfoPath which does pretty much what you described but performs all the form and function within Outlook not Word. If this is not what you are wanting maybe a bit more detail on the process you are trying to achieve.

The following code works well in VBA:
'Options.SendMailAttach = True
' ActiveDocument.SendMail

However, I also need to add recipients and a subject line when the new mail message window opens.

Also, to consider: on the MSDN website it states this code is for Exchange. Clients are using Outlook as a POP/IMAP configuration and not Exchange.

So do you have a word document with a button on it to send the same document to an email recipient and you want to it as an attachment, which you have working, and you want to specify the TO: address and Subject line content? Is this right?

Sorry, one last question...
It the mail client the sender using always Outlook or is this an unknown?
