| | Problem with Microsoft Word and Email I cannot seem to send documents in windows mail - even if I attach them... I get an error that the file location could not be found. If I try to email directly from Word, the "email" icon is not highlighted and will not let me activate. |

| | Re: Problem with Microsoft Word and Email Make sure the document is closed in Word. Windows Mail can't attach documents that are open elsewhere. In Word, can you do: File, Send To, Mail Recipient? -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "Hull_Christine" <Hull_Christine@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:3765F5F7-70AC-42FE-A4C6-C3782A3197E6@xxxxxx Quote: >I cannot seem to send documents in windows mail - even if I attach them...

The link for email recipient is not active. Select set my default programs, wait for the list of programs to populate, select MS Office Outlook and ensure that is all its defaults set. -- Regards Steve. MS-MVP. MAIL.

| | Re: Problem with Microsoft Word and Email The following procedure will rewrite the default protocol assignments in the registry: Open the Default Programs applet, then click on "Set program access and computer defaults." Expand the Custom selection, and select Windows Mail. Click OK. You may have to restart Windows. Does this restore the Email link in Word 2007? -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "Hull_Christine" <HullChristine@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:ECD01D70-4B67-4485-AFA3-53C19A146D0B@xxxxxx Quote: > I'm using word 2007 - so the command doesn't look like File: Send to, Mail > reciepient.....but the same functionality -- when I use Send, my only option > is Internet Fax.
