Share attachment in e-mail

I use a Mac Book Pro with Office 2011. When I'm working in a ppt, xls, or doc file I used to be able to click File, Share, the E-mail as attachment and Office would automatically open a new e-mail with that particular file attached. I then would select whom I want to send the file to and click send. For some unknown reason (had an Office update yesterday... could be the culprit) it does not allow me to perform this function any longer. All the same options are still available but it does not work. I have checked setting, defaults, file size, etc... Any advise? Hopefully the problem is not between the keyboard and chair...
