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/w...p-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Exchange client software that was, in effect, superseded by Microsoft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 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 ?
