The quick answer to your question is, no it cannot be done directly from your email client because your email client (Outlook, Gmail, Mac Mail, others) do not have a direct interface into a Microsoft Word document.

With that said, if you are using a Windows version of Outlook, then there would be a possibility of writing a special VBA macro to do it, but then it could not be a generic macro that worked correctly in all cases. This is because in a Microsoft Word document, there is no such thing as a static and addressable page. In MS Word, pages are dynamically defined by margins, fonts, spacing, print drivers, etc.

If you need to provide the content of a certain page in a Word document to someone else so they can edit it, your best bet would be to paste the content into a separate document that you email. This of course does not give you the header/footer content. If you just want someone to view the content, then make a screenshot of the page and mail that.
