Emailing a copy of a score

Sibelius beginners can discuss all things Sibelius here ("how do I...?").

Hello again,
I've tried emailing a Sibelius copy and/or a PDF copy (for someone who may not have Sibelius) but keep getting a message "an error occurred while sending you email" but there is no advice as to what I've done wrong.
Any advice please?
Regards,
Robert.

Have done a google search on this and it seems the emailing feature was disabled in July this year, owing to Avid migrating servers. Not sure if/when it'll be back up, but it seems to have been quite flaky anyway.

Shame, but looks like you'll have to email your files in the traditional way with your own email provider.

Thank you, and yes that works.
One other thing you might be able to help me with:
I have written a hymn tune and also "borrowed" some words to go with it.
At the moment I can turn the page from portrait to landscape and move the music to one side of the page.
What I cannot do is type four verses of words (which I can do in a word document) but into Sibelius so
that I can have music and words all on one sheets of A4.
Can you help or point me in the right direction please?
Regards,
Robert.

If this is what you want to do, then use the Block Lyrics text style which will allow you to place a block of lyrics anywhere.
