This can be configured to work with Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011. See this Microsoft Check this Microsoft Office support article for more compatibility information.

If you don't use one of these programs, you can save your document as a PDF (Send To > Disk) then attach it to an email in your preferred email software.

If there's more than one email program on your computer, you need to set Outlook or Apple Mail as the default. Similarly, if you have more than one email address set up in Outlook or Apple Mail, you'll need to set which one is the default.
