| When one is ready to share the files with others, one can click the Microsoft Office Button, and then choose two commands to help one accomplish that task. The Send command enables the user to e-mail the file to one or many recipients or send the file using an Internet fax service. The Publish command (available in Microsoft Office Word 2007, Microsoft Office Excel 2007, and Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007) gives the user options for packaging to CD (PowerPoint only) and posting the files to a document management server or document workspace, or to Excel Services (Excel only).

Move a File | 2007-12-01 | Microsoft |
| When one moves a file, one actually copies it to a new location and deletes it from the original location. The new copy might be put on the original disk or network location or on a separate one. In either case, the moving process is the same. If the Microsoft Office file that one wants to move is an HTML page, the user must move the HTML file plus its accompanying folder, which contains supporting files, such as images. This requirement does not apply if the Web page is in the single-file Web page format (mhtml). This format stores everything in one file. The user cannot move a file while someone has it open in any program. | |||

Use Mail Merge to Send Personalized e-Mail Messages to Your e-Mail Address List | 2007-12-01 | Microsoft |
| When one wants to send personalized e-mail to recipients in the address list, one can use mail merge to create the e-mail messages. Each message has the same kind of information, yet the content of each message is unique. For example, in e-mail to the customers, each message can be personalized to address each customer by name. The unique information in each message comes from entries in a data file. Furthermore, with mail merge, each e-mail message is a separate mailing where each recipient is the sole recipient of each message. This is unlike broadcasting an e-mail message to group of recipients or hiding recipients on the blind carbon copy (bcc) line of the message.

Remove Hidden Data and Personal Information From Office Documents | 2007-12-01 | Microsoft |
| Before the user shares an important document with colleagues or clients, one probably takes the precaution of proofreading or reviewing the contents of the document to ensure that everything is correct and the document does not contain anything one does not want to share with other people. If one plans to share an electronic copy of a Microsoft Office document, it is a good idea to take the extra step of reviewing the document for hidden data or personal information that might be stored in the document itself or in the document properties (metadata). | |||
