Vista - Word 2007 Send Buttton Unresponsive Greyed Out

Hello godsends:

I have Office 2007/Home and Student 2007 (Suite contains Word, Excel, PPt, OneNote 2007) I am on Vista x64.

I have a problem. Please help!
My problem is on Office Word 2007 my Send to Button is Greyed out, and even when clicking on colorful Word Button and Send Email option it is greyed out also.
Either way it's unavailable and unresponsive.

I have gone to word options and selected the mail to recipient, mail for review, and send email messages for the quick access toolbar, it did not work, still no function.

It seems I have configured windows email alright as I am able to email through IE, Firefox Mozilla and Aol software (as attachment) ok, but not directly through my office word.

I'm goin' batty. I've been at this forever. I know there are some awesome computer peeps out there.
