Best way to attach a Word document to Outlook Reply message
Hi,
I often attach DOCX to e-mail messages using Word and Outlook. If I create a new message, it is easy: File/Share/Email/Send as attachment. But if I want to attach it to an existing message, i.e. reply message, it is harder. Either I save it and then use Attach function from Outlook email, or to be faster: -I save the message to some Temp folder, -I click Save As again and in the dialogue box I right click the file and use Copy. -I switch to Outlook and paste it to Outlook email (reply) message. What is your fastest option? Best Mitja |

Save the document.
In Outlook create your reply and attach the document. |

Attach in Outlook
Thank you, but I know that. It is the standard and slow way. My way (copying file in save as dialog box) is faster.
Does anyone have a faster way? That is the question? Best Mitja |

I believe the document must be saved to send.
The only quicker way, with a document already saved, would be to have a macro in Outlook that would create the reply and open a dialog for you to search for the document to attach. That hardly seems worth the effort. |

Go back to Word and use the usual File/Share/Email/Send as attachment. This creates a second email with the document attached. You can then drag that attachment into the email you were already editing/replying to. The second email can then be deleted.
This method doesn't require the document to be saved anywhere on the disk first (other than in the email itself).
