Your computer must be connected to the Internet in order for an e-mail to be sent. If you are not connected via a standard e-mail program such as Microsoft Outlook Express or equivalent, you will receive a descriptive error message when you try to send an e-mail.
To send your sheet as e-mail:
Ensure that the sheet you wish to send as e-mail is active. If it is not, click the tab at the bottom of the sheet.
If you are in Easy Mode, click the Send as E-mail button. In Advanced Mode, click the icon that looks like a mail box. You may instead go to the File2 menu, and select Send E-mail to send your sheet as HTML, or Send E-Mail as Attachment to send your sheet as an attachment..
Your default e-mail program will open automatically. You will be presented with a new e-mail that includes your sheet, ready to send to the people you choose. Note that only the current sheet (rather than the entire workbook) will be sent as e-mail.
Sending a Sheet as HTML
If a sheet is sent as HTML, it will be converted to HTML and inserted into the body the e-mail.
To use this setting by default, go to the File2 menu, and check off Set E-Mail button to send as HTML. Now, when you click the Send as E-mail button, your sheet will be inserted into the body of an e-mail.
Sending a Sheet as an Attachment
If a sheet is sent as an attachment, it will NOT be inserted into the body of the e-mail. Instead, a file that the recipient must open will be attached to the e-mail.
To use this setting by default, go to the File2 menu, and check off Set E-Mail button to send as attachment. Now, when you click the Send as E-mail button, your sheet will be attached to a new e-mail.
Making Outlook Express your Default E-mail Program
If your computer has several e-mail programs, but would like to make Outlook Express your default (thus, the e-mail program in which EasySpreadsheet and EasyWord will use), follow these steps:
Run Outlook Express.
Under the Tools menu, select Options, then General.
If Outlook Express is not already your default e-mail program, the Default Messaging Programs section should read:This application is NOT the default Mail Handler. If, however, you see This application is the default Mail Handler, then Outlook Express is already your default program.
Click Make Default, followed by Apply, then OK.
Note for Netscape Users
If you use Netscape (rather than Microsoft Outlook Express) for your e-mail, please note that your document will be sent as an attachment (rather than appear within the body of your e-mail, as with Outlook Express).
