Send To Mail Recipient Office 2000

Posted by Flavio on January 11, 2002 8:41 AM

Hi!
I´d like to know how I use the Sent to Mail Recepient in Office 2000...
I want to do that because I send a spreadsheet to some of the company employees and not all computers have excel.
Doing this the spreadsheet will look like an image file... And the ones who have excel don´t need to load the program just to view it or print it!

I know that I can install Excel Viewer in the other computers but it would be much better if I could send as I told....
I tried to record a macro using this command but it doesn´t recognize when you are doing the steps and the macro stays blank!

Help me!

Thanks!!!

If your sheets are small, about 13 columns or less, as most mail programs will cut off the columns beyond this. You can do a screen print to Paint then import the image into your document. If you select a region of your sheet the screen print will only capture your selected area, otherwise you get the whole window.

If you send the file as an attachment then each user will need Excel as the viewer will not run macros. If thats not a problem then install the viewer.

You can embed an Excel sheet into an E-Mail document, in doing so it is converted to html, but the sending system must have Excel 2000 or better! Also the Microsoft Mail Manager setup on a networked system could be dificult. Here is some code to get you started? JSW
