Here you will see several options to choose from. Once you get there make sure to have All Command selected and scroll down to the Email part of the list. Or you can go to the File tab and then select Options and then Customize Ribbon. You can get to it from the same option section shown above but just click on Customize Ribbon on the left instead of Quick Access Toolbar. Now if you want your send to email icon to be part of the ribbon then it’s a similar procedure to set that up.

If you select All Commands at the top it will show everything rather than just the popular commands. There are other options you can choose from if you click on More Commands and you can add just about anything to your toolbar to make it easier to get to. If you click the down arrow to the right of them you will have some default options that you can choose from and one of them is Email and all you have to do is check it and it will be added to your Quick Access Toolbar. The first place is to have it on your Quick Access Toolbar which consist of the small icons on the upper left of the window. There are a couple of places you can have the send to email icon and they are configured differently. without having to do it as an email attachment separately. It allows you to attach the document you are working on to an email right from Word or Excel etc. For some reason Microsoft decided that they didn’t need to have the send to email icon in the ribbon for Office 2016 even though it’s a really handy feature.
