When emailing a document through MS word,(file\send to\email recipent) the email is sent but is not showing up in the users "sent" folder in outlook. The users would print the emails from the sent folder as proof they sent them but now have nothing to varify they did. Any ideas??

Is it possible that they unchecked "Save copies of Messages in Sent Items folder" under email options?

I have run into this same problem, I haven't found a solution that works within Word. From what I understand is that Word does not use enough of the fuctionality of the email system(in our case Outlook) for the system to recognize that it was sent from Outlook. A work around although more steps is to have them send an email and attach the file from within the email package, then it will recognize and track properly. Hope this helps and I hope someone else has a better solution for both of us!
