Thanks Bob, that helps even more. It makes me wonder, this is
Non-Commercial, Teacher, Student works, but everything I see in here is
totally geared towards the commercial application, and nothing has been left
simple, and easy to use/understand. Makes it rather difficult for those of
us who were used to the 2000 upgrade, and not into '03 tc, to understand,
comprehend and use to its ultimate potential.

Hi Slavic,

There does appear to be a buglet in the Release version of MS Office Word 2007 that wasn't there in the B2TR one :)

The 'Send Now/Send a copy' portion of the 'Email Envelope' created from the 'Send to Mail Recipient' command can indeed cause a
crash, even if Word is started in Office safe mode (holding ctrl key when starting), when you are using OE6 as your default email
editor.

As an alternative, you can use Outlook Express through Word 2007 using either the 'Send for Review' or the 'Send Email (as an
Attachment) command. Outlook Express seems to work fine when the documents are attached rather than trying to generate the HTML in
the body of the email message.

FWIW, in Excel (and in Word when it works <g>) the Send to Email recipient command's "Send a Copy" button does use Outlook Express
to send the email, it just doesn't show the normal Outlook Express user interface (if you save copies of sent emails they should be
in the 'Sent Items' folder (set view to 'show all').

Hello, Red!

Glad that my old theme draws your attention. I have meant that it's kind of
bugreport/feedback to Office 2007 developers. I hope they eventually be able
to fix these issues with some programs. Of course, I mean "positive" fix,
because "negative" fix would be very simple - to disable unwanted function at
all... Waiting for SP1 or something similar.

How to reproduce in Excel:
1. Office button, Excel options, Customize. Select "Commands not in the
Ribbon" in drop-down box.
2. Find "Send to Mail Recipient" and add it to Quick access toolbar. OK.
Button "Send..." appears near to Office button.
3. Open any Excel table of write something in empty cell and call this
function.
4. Use the mail (Outlook Express) panel below the Ribbon as usual.

In Word 2007 the similar actions produce completely different result :-(

Remark: you should have an Office 2007 without any Microsoft Outlook.
"Fresh" Office Home and Students on "fresh" XP will be OK.

Hope this will help to check an issue.
