Copying a Word document to the clipboard

Post by jmt356 »

In Word 2010, if I am working in a document that I want to send in an email, I can copy the document to my clipboard through alt + f + a, which takes me to the Save as … dialogue, and then shift + tab to highlight the document and copy it. I could then copy it into an email.

Word 2016 introduces an additional step. I can no longer get to the current file location by pressing alt + f + a. I now have to choose the folder in which the file is currently saved. Is it possible to skip this additional step so that I can get to the current file location simply by pressing alt + f + a?
Regards,

JMT
