Copy & Paste to Email

My guess is that your version of Word does not support converting html. You will either need to see if microsoft has an add-on pack for html conversion, or upgrade. I believe Word97 and up supported this feature. Try to go to microsoft.com and find their updates for office products and search for 'converter' or something, you will find it eventually :)

Just a shot in the dark...am I close?

Veggienut,

Usually you have several different opitons if you find something that you like that you want to email to someone else. First, if you want to send them the complete webpage with all of the images, you can look around for the email link that the website provides for that service. If the website is a members only website though, the email link may not work for the recepient.

A second choice you have is to use your File | Send. The webpage now becomes an attachment in your email program.

Likewise, if you use the File | Save As, you can create your own file which you would then need to upload into the email provider's program.

However, if you do not want to send much more than the text from something within a webpage, you might find (in this latter suggestion) that it is easier to use copy and paste into something like MS Word, then upload that Word document into your email program as an attachment. This procedure uses less bytes because you are not sending (or storing) the image files.

If you can not copy and paste into an email provider's email program, I believe it is because the email provider has switched off the editor for reasons of its own. If this is the case, look around the Help Details of the email provider's program for an explanation, or suggestions.
