Vista Tutorial - sending Word.doc as mail

Running Office 2007 on Vista Home premium on HP Pavilion laptop.

When I had Office 2003 on this machine I was able to send a Word document as
a letter, as well as an atachment. With 2007 (Outlook installed) I have not
been able to get that functionality. I looked around the button collections
in Word and Outlook, read numerous help screens, adjusted the registry
values for Messaging Subsystem key. So far nothing has helped. Everything
seems to be in order, except I can't send a Word document as a letter.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

In my Word 2007 'button' menu, I have a SEND option which allows for sending
to e-mail in Outlook or as a Fax. Are you sure that you do not have these
functions?

Thanks for your suggesion. Troubleshoot refers to messages received when
trying to send. I receive no messages because there is no button. Send as
attachment works, but there's no way to send as mail.

Thanks for your suggestion. The Send option includes send as attachment and
Internet fax but not as letter.

e-mail, the issue is that the only option in Word 2007 to do that is to
send the Word document as an attachment, whereas the OP is saying that
in previous Word versions you had the option of sending as an attachment
or as putting the contents of the Word document in the body of the
e-mail message.

The former functionality is not easily available in Word 2007 by
default, but you can add it. To add it, follow these steps:

1. Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Word Options.
2. Click Customize, and then in the Choose commands from list, click
All Commands.
3. Click Send to Mail Recipient, and then click Add to add the command
to the Quick Access Toolbar.
