Sending Documents as E-mail

Working in LibreOffice, you can send the current document as an e-mail attachment.

  1. Choose File - Send - E-mail Document.

    LibreOffice opens your default e-mail program.

  2. In your e-mail program, enter the recipient, subject and any text you want to add, then send the e-mail.

Tip Icon

In case you want to send the e-mail to a recipient who only has software that cannot read the OpenDocument format, you can send the current document in an often used proprietary format.
For a text document, choose File - Send - E-mail as Microsoft Word. For a spreadsheet, choose File - Send - E-mail as Microsoft Excel. And for a presentation, choose File - Send - E-mail as Microsoft PowerPoint.
If you want to send the document as a read-only file, choose File - Send - E-mail as PDF.
These commands do not change your current document. Only a temporary copy is created and sent.
