Re: Can't email from Word 2002 with Outlook Express

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

It seems that Outlook is still the default e-mail handler on your system,
presumably attributable to a registry conflict.
Ok, let's approach this from another direction
In Outlook Express > Tools > Options > General - make this application the
default e-mail handler.
In Outlook > Tools > Options > Other - Uncheck make Outlook the default
program for e-mail.
Close all Office applications. Then see

From the original Office installation disc, re-run setup and repair the
installation.

Graham thanks so much, but I had already checked that, but I when
back and did it again, but no help!!!

**In word if I pull up a doc., and want to email, the mail recipient
button and field on the top bar and in the file menu is shaped out
and can not select...........however I can select mail recipient as
attachment.........when I click on this, a window comes up from
outlook select profile......that is as far as I can get.

I know word is pulling up outlook as the default mail handler, but
can find how to change it to outlook express

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks Tommy

This is a bit of a two edged sword. If you change Outlook from the
default e-mail application to Outlook Express, you will lose the
ability to use the Address Book in Word, but if you want to use
Outlook Express as e-mail application you must change the default
in Windows and restart Word (Control Panel > Internet Options >
Programs).

I need help!!, this is my first posting, I hope I'm doing it
correctly.

PROBLEM;
Word default mail handler!!!!!, I can't send a word document or
excel document through word with outlook express to a recipient,
the file, and send to mail recipient is shaded out and will not
function. When I click mail recipient as attachment it brings up a
window for me to Choose Profile in MS outlook.

***I can r/click on the document, send to, mail recipient and
works
correctly bringing up the email window in outlook express.

I am running Windows xp home edition, and was running MS Office
97,
all worked well, including being able to email from word with
outlook express.

I uninstalled MS office 97, and installed MS Office XP Pro 2002
version, all works well except I can't email a doc using Outlook
express.

I can not find how to change the MS Outlook from being Words
default
mail hander.

**On the file menu, and on the top bar the sent to "mail
recipient"
is shaded out and can not select it.

**I use MS Outlook express as my email handler.

I have checked;
**Internet explorer, programs, HTML editor is Word, email is set
for
Outlook express
Have set up in control panel, internet options, programs, and
selected outlook express.
**Outlook Express is set as default mail handler.
**I have already installed and un-installed MS Office, no help!!
** Have checked WIN.INI mail in reg. string values and they are
correct

Anyone have a idea, how to get word and excel to use outlook
express
as the mail handler for document,

Thanks,

Tommy
