Send a Word document by email

I want to send the active document per email (or per fax).
Now manually u could choose in the menu, File , Send To, Mail recepient
This opens a heading in word window above to give emal title, recepient etc.
This i wonna do in my Vbcode, can i give some code to call up the email
header. So user just has to fill in tile and recepient and cicks send button.

I heared about creating a macro, but haven't made one yet, is this difficult
and
the problem is it can't be word version/language dependent ! It has to work
in all word versions up to Word2000.

I did find some code on the net that doesn't use the header but all pars are
filled in through code using the Activadocument.routingslip
But this is not really what i want to do (and allso this gives me an error
Mail is not installed on my system allthough i have Outlook express). I want
to leave he email sending up to word itself, so user kan click words sending
button and use the email header.
