Re: How can I get Word 2002 to default to Windows Mail

I don't understand your repeated references to Outlook Express.
That email program does not install or run on Vista. I assume you
meant Outlook, which is a different email program.

Windows Mail may not have all of its default protocols assigned.
Open the Default Programs applet, which you can access either from
the Start menu or via the Control Panel, then click the first item:
"Set your default programs."
After a few seconds, a list of programs comes up. Click on "Windows
Mail". If it doesn't respond with "This program has all its defaults"
then fix it by clicking on the option indicated by the first green arrow.
