Send a document as email message using Word 2007

Software: Microsoft Office Word 2007
OS: Windows Vista

Microsoft Word is an easy tool to design a simple newsletter and I have used it since Word 2003. It has a feature that enables us to send email message directly from Word. You can access this by go to File > Send to > Mail Recipient.

Few days ago, I upgraded my Word 2003 to Word 2007. When I want to send a newsletter, I found out that the Mail Recipient sub menu is missing from the File menu. I thought there is something wrong with my computer, so I go to another computer that already installed with Word 2007. But the same, I didn’t found the menu.

After searching the web for a while, finally I found that there is a way to show the Send to Mail Recipient menu, but it have to be added to the Quick Access Toolbar (See Pic 1). Here are the steps:
