how do I add WLM to my current Office suite?

I just upgraded to use WLM with my Office 2007 Student Editon Suite. I can't
get the send buttons to work from the Office Suite - how do I turn on this
capability. I tried setting WLM as default - done that at the default
programs tab but it is not working for Office. If anyone could help please
let us know!

Re: how do I add WLM to my current Office suite?

WLM is not part of the Office suite. Outlook handles the email functions
for Office.

If you are trying to send from within Word, using the Email button, or
File - Send to.. Mail Recipient, those only work with Outlook.
You should be able to use File - Send To.. Mail Recipient (as attachment).
This will open the default email program, which is WLM, if you set it.

Office uses Outlook. It is an independent email client.
It does not integrate with WLM which is also an independent email client.

If you have a Hotmail type account(hotmail.com, live.com or msn.com) then to access that email in Outlook you have the following
options.
a. Setup the Hotmail account as a pop3 account
b. install the Outlook Connector and setup the hotmail account(it will be setup as an http account using the DeltaSync protocol).
