Sometimes you may need to share a Word document locally or from a web page. You can link directly to the Word document from your email. Your Word document will need to be in a location where the recipient can access it, such as a network folder. If the file is on the Internet, the recipient will need to have access to the web page where the Word document is located. Unlike a file attachment, a linked document is not attached to the email message.
Compose a new message in your email.
Select the hyperlink command in your email program or select "Insert" and "Hyperlink" from the program's toolbar if it's available.
Enter the full website or file location of the Word document you want to link.
If the Word document is on the Web, enter the complete web address, such as: "http://websiteaddress.com/documentname.docx."
If the Word document is on your computer, navigate to the file location or type it into the hyperlink text box. Then click "OK."
