Microsoft Word Send Function Not Working

I just downloaded Monterey today and ever since I have not been able to share Word documents from the File > Share function in Word. I was able to do it this morning, but once my computer restarted, I'm not able to do it.

I've made Microsoft Outlook my default email app, but I get a sharp beep every time I try to share a document. Which means now I have to save the document somewhere, go to my mail app, open a new email and attach it. It's so frustrating!

Does anyone have a fix for this?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14

Hey Desirae2379,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!

We understand that you're having trouble sending a document on Word after upgrading your macOS.

Run Microsoft AutoUpdate to ensure your Microsoft applications are fully updated for Monterey compatibility. Then, look in System Preferences > Extensions > Share menu, and see if there is an Outlook-specific extension you need to select before your Word > File menu > Share > Send Document works properly with Outlook.
