Email from Word through windows mail?

Hi,
Not sure this is common knowledge but I have never used Word for sending
messages before.
Can it be configured to send via Windows mail as It defaults to Outlook
which I don't use?
Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but if someone could point to it?
tia.
Stuart.

Click Start, select Default Programs
Click Set program access and computer defaults
Click Custom, and select Windows Mail
Click OK

Then, follow these steps:

Click Set your default programs
Select your mail client from the list
Click Set this program as default
Click OK
