Vista - Failure - error trying to send email from MS Office Word 2007

So I had prepared a document with graphics in MS Office Word, saved it, and then set about to send it via email. I clicked onto the email symbol, and got this error message instead;



"Logon failed. You must logon to Microsoft Exchange to access your address book.
Error Code "Unspecified Error".

Questions;

• Where is the Microsoft Exchange, and how do I go about accessing it so that I can logon?
• Is there a link to MS Exchange in MS Office Word?
• It's nice of them to hold my address [contacts??] book, but I need to logon to use it too. How?
• Does anyone know how I get around this hiccup, or is this feature [email from MS Office Word 2007] limited to different versions of Vista/Office?

Tony I'm curious,
Are you using Win Mail or Outlook as your default email client?
I note your question in this link
How do I group common Email addresses together to send all the same Email?

If indeed it's Win Mail try this -
Control Panel. - Programs - Default Programs -set your default programs - wait for the list to populate - Windows Mail - set this program as default.

If I'm barking up the wrong tree you will no doubt tell me.

Hi JMH,

I'm using Win Mail [Win. Live Hotmail]. I did have only 3 of 4 default settings, but it is now fully, the default mail app.

The other question is sorted....it was ME barking up the wrong tree. All OK now and there should be a tick alongside that thread, just in case others were wondering where to find those settings.

All I need to do now is find out how/where I logon for MS Office Word 2007 emailing.


Edited; Solution found!!

'arf! arf! arf! arf! woof!

I've found the right tree.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.....both email of the displayed document in Word, and/or attaching it to an email, are now set for default in the Windows Live Hotmail Account, and working perfectly.

That's another big tick for another thread.

HOORAY.
