If I want to send a word document via e-mail (as an attachment) I know I can
use the following code:

ActiveDocument.SendMail

This opens a new Outlook box and attaches the active word document -- this
is good, but..

How can I specify the name of who this is to be sent to. I don't want to
use the routing slip approach since that seems to include verbiage in the
actual text section of the mail indicating that the document needs to be
routed further -- I have only one recipient that the file is to go to. Is
there also a way of specifying the subject field verbiage as well as being
able to specify any text associated with the body of the mail message??

I tried using the same code that works well in doing this for Excel but this
does not work for Word (using the recipient's name etc..)

Doug,
Thanks for the information. I was hoping that I could avoid using the
routing slip method because of the "Disadvantages" that are listed in the
document you referenced. Thanks again for your help.
