Author: Kelly Last Modified: 2025-03-20

Typically, when you need to attach or copy an open Word documentโ€”or multiple open documentsโ€”you have to navigate manually through Windows Explorer to find their locations. However, with Kutools for Wordโ€™s powerful Copy Current File and Copy All Open Files utilities, you can instantly copy the currently open document or all open documents without needing to locate their folders manually.

For example, if you want to attach your current document directly to an email, you no longer have to browse your file system. Simply use the Copy Current File or Copy All Open Files utility and then paste directly into Outlook or other destinations.
