SYMPTOMS
When you send e-mail from other Microsoft Office 2000 programs, there is no option to insert Outlook items as attachments.



RESOLUTION
Add a Windows Registry entry to add an Item button to the e-mail toolbar.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
You have the ability to send e-mail from within other Office programs, such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. To do so, click the E-mail button on the toolbar. This opens an e-mail header (envelope) containing an E-mail toolbar. By default, this toolbar has no option to insert Outlook items as attachments to the message. However, you can add a button for this purpose by adding an entry to the Windows Registry.

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To Add the Registry Entry
 click Start, and click Run. In Open, type regedit, and click OK. Move to the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Office/9.0/Outlook

 Right-click the Outlook key, point to New on the shortcut menu, and click DWORD Value. For New Value #1 change the name to, ExtendedEnvelopeUI and press ENTER. Quit the Registry Editor.</li></ol>

This will add a button to the e-mail toolbar, Item, for adding Outlook items as attachments to a message.

NOTE: This will also add buttons to the E-mail toolbar for formatting the message in either HTML or Plain Text.
