How to share Word document

To share a Word document by email without converting it to PDF, use one of these Word options on Windows:

1. Open the document in Word.
2. Select File > Share.
3. Choose one of these:
   • Upload to OneDrive to share a link to the Word file.
   • Attach a copy instead to send the document in its original Word format by email.
4. Enter the recipients, edit the subject or message if needed, and select Send.

If the goal is collaboration on the same file, save it to OneDrive and share the link. That keeps one shared copy and lets others view or edit based on the permissions set.

Another way in Word is:

1. Select Share in the top-right corner.
2. Save the document in OneDrive if it is not already there.
3. Enter names or email addresses.
4. Set permissions.
5. Add an optional message and select Send.
