A family of Microsoft word processing software products for creating web, email, and print documents.
In recent versions of Word, the previous shortcut/link to “Sent e‑mails and documents” is no longer exposed the same way, but the underlying items are still available in two places:
- Sent emails
- Sent emails are stored in Outlook, not Word.
- In Outlook, open the Sent Items folder to see messages that were sent from Word (for example via Mail Merge or “Send as attachment”).
- If sent messages are missing, verify Outlook is saving them:
- In Outlook, select File > Options > Mail.
- Under Save messages, ensure Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder is checked.
- Documents that were sent from Word
- Word itself does not keep a special “sent documents” list; the documents remain as normal files in their original locations.
- To share again from Word, use:
- File > Save & Send (in older Word versions) to send as email attachment or as PDF/XPS.
- Or save the document to OneDrive and share a link from there.
If the previous “sent” link in Word was part of a custom UI (e.g., a Quick Access Toolbar command or an add‑in), it may need to be re‑added after the update, but the actual sent emails are always visible in Outlook’s Sent Items folder.
