Vista - Email as text from Word 2002?

After installing Windows Live Mail into my XP machine I have not been able
to send a document as text from within MS Word 2002.

Before installing Windows Live Mail I had Outlook Express. With OE, Word
2002
had a button on its menu bar create new email. And there were send email
options to that allowed sending mail as text or as attachments.

After installing Live Mail, from within Word I can only send a document as
an attachment. I have checked the options within Word, and I do have it
configured NOT to email documents as attachments.

Can this be fixed, or is this feature broken in Windows Live Mail?


Thanks!

Correction:

With Outlook Express, from within Word 2002 I could send a document for
review without sending it as an attachment. The actual formatted document
would be sent.

In addition, email could actually be composed, and then sent, from within
Word 2002. This gave all the functionality of the word processor to the
creation of email.

Can I do this with WLM?

Thanks, and sorry for not wording this clearly in my first post...
----------------------------------------------

My experience, and that of others as well, is that with WLM set as the
Default Mail client, Word and other Office programs lose the menu item
to send to mail recipient where the document is placed in the message
body. The menu items to send as an attachment remain and work.

Resetting Outlook Express as the default mail program restores the menu
item.

This appears to be due to WLM's use of a different MAPI DLL file.

The problem appears with Office 2002 and 2003. I don't' know about
2007.

I'm not aware of any fix for this.

I was pretty sure I had this working correctly at one time.
But when I tested sending from Word 2003 just now, it sent
via Outlook 2003 instead of WLM. This in spite of the fact
that WLM has all its defaults. I'll submit this anomaly via the
feedback website.

I've never been able to find a solution for others either.....but it works here in Excel, Word, and PowerPoint on WLM 12 and 14
with O2K7 and O2K3 respectively when either WLM is the default email client or Outlook.
2 notes of importance
- Office was installed **after** WLM
- If iTunes is installed(all bets are off unless the email client is already open)..iTunes installs an item called Apple's
Mobile Device Support which prevents the default email client from opening when using another application's 'SendTo' function(the
Mobile Device application can be removed, but it may impact sync or recognition of certain iPods)

Have you tried using ProcMon to see if the menu
is derived from the registry or some other customizable list?

No...since it worked, didn't investigate further. Maybe on a rainy day
