I can not send doc in an email message as an attachment because my "email"
under "Send" is not activated. I have Search all sources trying to find how
to "turn on" this option. I have gone to Word Options, All Commands etc. but
do not know what the problem is. I don't know if I have to do something
special in Outlook or what. Any help is appreciated.
 
I have Outlook Express. I wonder if I have to install Outlook instead of
Express to make this work. I have OE set as default but still not working.
I went to the link you sent me (Thanks) and made sure I had it set as default
but still did not work. Any other suggestions is most appreciated.

AFAIK Outlook Express will not work in this scenario - something to do with
Simple MAPI I believe. Installing Outlook and setting it as default will
cure the problem - if you can't really be bothered with the complexity of
Outlook than Mozilla Thunderbird (which is more like OE in appearance and
operation) will also work AFAIR...
 
Ya, I found another thread with a whole bunch of people with the same
problem. Obviously, another Bill Gates glitch...I will try the Mozilla
Thunderbird. I have to download Mozilla, right and then set up. I use Gmail
for all of my mails comings and goings, not Outlook anything :) but have the
Outlook Express. I can reinsstall the Outlook regular version if necessary.
This is SOOOOOO frustrating. Thanks for your help. MW
