Re: Word 2007 Crashes When Sending Document As Email

QAT = Quick access Toolbar.

Press ALt+F and there you will find a command Send Email. It is that command that is broken. If you have added the legacy Send To Mail Recipient, you have already done what I was suggesting.

It works for most people and I am not sure why it won't work for you.

Terry, what does "Qat" mean and why would I send email from the "Start menu"?
All I'm doing is trying to send a Word document (.docx) as an email by
pushing the "Send a Copy" button after pushing the "Send to Mail Recipient"
on the Quick Access Tool Bar - as it has typically been done in previous
versions of Word.

The application crashes immediately because Word 2007 is looking for - and
will only work with - "Microsft Outlook" (2007). I checked this registry
key: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Messaging Subsystem" -
"Microsoft Outlook" listed and not "Windows Mail" as the email client.
Outlook is not installed - that is the problem - that is what needs to be
changed - that registry key.

Can you fix that?

Are you using Send To Mail Recipient or are you using the Send Email from
the Start Menu (Alt+F)? The latter is broke. You need to add the legacy Send
TO Mail Recipient to your QaT and that should work.
