    Send Word document by email from Word 2003 not working with WLM

    I'm using WinXP Pro, Word 2003 and have recently started using WLM Desktop
    instead of OE for emails. When using OE I could send attachments by going to
    Word / File /Send To/ Mail Recipient (as attachment). Now this doesn't work.
    What I get is a box to create my message in which looks different to the
    usual New Message window, but it has To, CC, Subject etc but there's NO SEND
    BUTTON so I can create the email but can't actually send it! Also nothing in
    the menus enabling me to send it. At the top of the message window it has
    the title of the email then "- Message (HTML)". In the end I had to give up
    and send the email from WLM.

    What's going on please?

    Ah, I've just sorted this out myself. I had the default email
    program/client in wrongly as Outlook. (I thought I'd changed this the other
    day, but perhaps I hadn't). So I changed this as follows:
    Internet Explorer/Tools/Internet Options/Programs/ changed email to WLM.

    It works fine now.

    Yes I did mean Office Outlook. Oh, that's useful to know, maybe that's what
    happened, thanks Gordon.
