why can't i send doc by email
Hi Terry,
I'm sorry but my level of expertise isn't the best. First, the click on office button,send, fax or email, select email. That is my goal. Only Fax is a viable option. Email is "greyed out". Two, the QAT (i had no idea what that was until I surfed enough posts). I followed the advice you posted. Email appears as a "checked box". But nothing else happens. Thanks for your time and expertise. Sending the doc to someone while in the program is a huge benefit. -- Mark "Terry Farrell" wrote: Click on the Office Button and select Send, Email which will send the document as an attachment. If you want to send as part of an email rather than attachment, then you need to add the missing command to the QAT. Right-click on he QAT and choose All Commands and then add the Send to Mail Recipient command to the QAT. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Mark" wrote in message ... I followed your advice. My question is this: when I create a doc and want to email it, how do I do it? where is the button that gives me the option??? Thanks!!! -- Mark |

why can't i send doc by email
The following was originally posted by Peter Jamieson:
First, make sure that the e-mail program you want to use is set up to be the default e-mail program (e.g. via Internet Explorer|Tools|Internet Options|Programs, and send at least one message using it. Then Word needs some stuff in WIN.INI and/or in the Windows registry before it will show you the E-mail option. I believe that for Word 2003 it needs to be in the Windows registry, but that may depend also on the version of Windows so it is probably better to put the information in both places. For WIN.INI, a. find the WIN.INI file in your Windows folder (typically c:\WINDOWS), make a backup copy of it, and open it in Notepad. b. ensure that the following text is in there, and add it if not [Mail] MAPI=1 CMCDLLNAME32=mapi32.dll CMCDLLNAME=mapi.dll CMC=1 MAPIX=1 MAPIXVER=1.0.0.1 OLEMessaging=1 You will need to close all copies of Word before this change has a chance of taking effect. It is probably safest to restart Windows to be completely sure. If that isn't enough, you will need to edit the registry. Proceed with caution! c. In your Windows folder, locate and run regedit.exe. If you're on an older version of Windows you might need to use regedt32.exe. Look for a key called HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mi*crosoft\Windows Messaging Subsystem I would be surprised if it was not there in recent versions of Windows, but if it is not, add it. If it is there, I would expect to see d. a subkey claled MSMapiApps e. a number of "values" with the same names as are in the above list - MAPI, MAPIX etc. f. an additional value called InstallCmd If you cannot see the (e) values, you need to add them. For each of the values in the above list g. right click "Windows Messaging Subsystem" and select New|String Value. Note that although some of these items have numeric values, they should all be entered as String Values. h. enter the name, as above i. double click on the name. A dialog box appears. Enter the value (e.g. for the name CMCDLLNAME, enter mapi.dll) and click OK j. You may also need to create the InstallCmd value, although I rather doubt it. I am less sure about this and about what should go in there. On my system, the value is: rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection MSMAIL 132 msmail.inf When you have done them all, press F5. Then close all copies of Word and restart it - or restart Windows, then restart Word and see if the e-mail option has appeared. -- Hope this helps.

Hi Doug,
I don't want to screw up my computer by blindly changing things so I want to make sure I understand you. Internet Explorer, Tools, Internet Options, Programs, Internet Programs (choose program you want to use for other internet services, such as email), box with SET PROGRAM, click set default program... After that, I'm stuck. I see Windows Mail. I see Google ( I have a Gmail account). What do I do now? Also, I have Microsoft 2007 Home and Office with Word and Mail.

Set Windows Mail as the default mail program and check the settings as
described in the second method in the article at; http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/918792 You will need to configure Windows Mail so that it accesses you email account.

why can't i send doc by email
As others have indicated, you cannot use a web mail account with Word. You
can however setup gmail as a POP server which will allow you to set it up in Windows Mail or Outlook. The first two illustrations at http://www.gmayor.com/use_google_gma...emove_spam.htm will show you how to do that. The rest of the article refers to setting up gmail to launder external mail accounts, but should give you some insight into how to collect mail from gmail. gmail itself will give you enough information on how to *send* email using a third party application.. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Mark wrote: Hi Doug, I don't want to screw up my computer by blindly changing things so I want to make sure I understand you.

Yes,
Another MS trick to make you use outlook and spend more money. Windows mail is their own program and they should honor it. But as long as money making is more important than customer service, we won't be able to use Windows mail in word. ethbarry.

There are other free email programs out there that DO use MAPI - Mozilla Thunderbird (very like OE in looks) certainly does. And it certainly DOES work with Office 2007.... |
