    Hi Janice, my name is John D. an independent advisor happy to help you with this.

    To send a Word document as a PDF via email on Windows 10, you can follow these simple steps:

    > Open the Word document you want to send as a PDF.

    > Click on “File” in the top left corner of the screen.

    > Select “Save As” from the list on the left.

    > Choose where you want to save the PDF and give it a name.

    > Click on the “Save as type” dropdown menu and select “PDF (*.pdf)”.

    > Click on “Save”.

    > Open your email client and create a new email message.

    > Attach the PDF file you just created to the email message. > Send the email.

    I hope these steps will help you send the Word document as a PDF via email successfully.

    Best regards,

    "How do I send a word document via email as a pdf ?"

    Step 1 - Save the Word document as a PDF. (Use 'Save as')

    Image

    Step 2 - Attach the PDF file to your email message. The way you do this depends on what software you use to send email. For example, here's how to attach a file in Microsoft's Outlook.com email service:

    Tip: Even if all you want to do is to send the file, it's still a good idea to give your email a Subject and type a few words into the message body. This is what e-mail servers expect to see, so your message will be less likely to get rejected.

    When I try to send a pdf I get a message:Browser Picker doesn't support attachments. Cannot open specific doc on url.

    I find it puzzling how people are replying with answers when we don't have all the necessary facts.

    Usually when an error message is posted here, we can just search the Internet for that same message to better understand what's happening. I'm not getting any hits on that error message. It would be much better to paste a screenshot of the error here. A picture really is worth a 1000 words.

    Are you using Windows or Mac (I know you posted under Windows 10, but let's be sure)?

    What version of Word (i.e. Office) are you using? Is it the free online version?

    What email software are you using?

    I forgot to mention in my request that I'm using a Mac (new to me; trying to learn how to navigate it).

    I purchased Microsoft 365 but I keep running into problems.

    I use g-mail. I haven't figured out how to do screenshots .

    The message I get when I try to share as a pdf in an email is: Your default email client "Openly a Link Browser Picker" doesn't support attachments. I also get a message that I haven't installed Extensions so that is another thing I have to figure out. As may be evident, though I've used computers for a long time, I'm not tech savvy but try to learn the bare minimum for my purposes.

    Thanks for taking the time to respond to my question.
