I created a document with my Word 2007 program that had an image inserted.
I added the Email command to the Quick Access Toolbar.
When I tried to Email the Doc. I was told I need a Windows Exchange account.
Can someone explain the procedure ?

If your mail program is MAPI compliant, it should appear in place of Windows
Live Mail in step 3 of the following instructions:

To use the Send To option in Office applications with Windows Live Mail,
make the following changes to the Window Registry.

Note: Just in case something goes wrong, you should first back up the
registry by following the steps in the following article:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Back-up-the-registry

Now, back to the original issue:

1. Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories > Run > Type regedit

2. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Client > Click on Mail

3. Check what appears in the right pane. It should read as below:

(Default) REG_SZ Windows Live Mail

4. If Windows Live Mail does not appear, right click on (Default) and click
on Modify and in the Value Data box, type

Windows Live Mail

Note: If you don't find the Mail item, right click on Client and Click New >
Key and rename the key to:

Mail.

Once the Mail key is created, right click on Mail > New > String Value. Name
the value as:

(Default).

Right click on (Default) and Click Modify. In the Value Data box type

Windows Live Mail.

Based on information posted by Peter Jamieson in another forum, the "must
logon to microsoft exchange" message is an old message that is now very
misleading - when it mentions "Exchange" it does not mean Microsoft's
current "Exchange Server" product. It's actually referring to the Microsoft
Exchange client software that was, in effect, superseded by Microsoft
Outlook way back in 1997 (or possibly earlier). At the very least it would
be handy if the message said "Outlook" instead of "Exchange", but it would
be even better if Microsoft could fix this message so it gave people a
better idea of what to do next.

I have been trying to respond to this suggestion for about a day.
I followed you instructions (I think) and some things changed but the
problem is not solved.
I did the Regedit, something I am comfortable with.
Then I took "snippets" of my Registry tree and entries.
I tried to included them in my reply, selecting Rich Text, but they do not
appear in the group.
I do not get an error message when I send them they just did not appear.

As to my Word/ Email problem:
Now when I try to send an Email out of Word; Windows Live Mail opens but I
still get, in the Word program, the error message.
"Logon Failed. You must log on to Microsoft Exchange to access your address
book"

As to the "MAPI Compliant " reference. I checked my WLM serve and it is
HTTP. I have no idea what the difference is. I will Google both.
Thanks so far..............
 
Do you have a mail account set up in WLM?

I am using Yahoo Mail
Windows Mail
Windows Live Mail
Thunderbird
and a couple of Google accounts.
All I want to do is send Emails that are Editorial cartoons on stationary.
I am comfortable editing the Registry.
I have got Word to send Email via Thunderbird but the Doc. was an
attachment, not in the body of the mail.
I am still trying to understand why MS create Windows Live Mail so that it
does not interface with Word but that is another story.
 
And which one do you have set as the default mail client?

To be able to Send from Word, you would need to have an account set up in
Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail and whichever one of those it is, set as
the default mail client.

I understand that Thunderbird supports Simple MAPI so by going through the
Registry thing with it, you may be able to get it to work.

I have been able to send Email via Word.
However it goes out as an attachment , not in the body of the mail.
I have learned a lot in the process and I thank you for your tutoring.

To get the content of the Word document used as the body for the email
message, Customize the Quick Access Toolbar by adding the "Sent to Mail
Recipient" item from the Commands Not in Ribbon section and use that button.

Do however note that Word format and HTML e-mail formats are entirely
different from one another and sending the document as the body of the
message may not have the intended result, when opened by the recipient.

************************************************************************************************
I have always been using "Sent to Mail" in the Quick Access Toolbar.
I do not know where the "Ribbon" is.
 
The Ribbon is the new menu bar across the top of the Word window. If you
don't see it, it is probably in Auto Hide mode. Use Ctrl+F1 to toggle it
back on (or off again).

Oh. That
I always had it on and assumed it was normal.
I hears some folks don't like it. Seems good to me.
I don't think it has anything to do with my "Emailing a file out of Word"
problem.

AFAIAA Thunderbird is fully MAPI compliant. I've always been able to send a
document from Word when TBird is set as default....
