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 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.

Do you have a mail account set up in WLM?

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..............

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 ?
