How to set Outlook as default mail client for Publisher

I ended up re-installing my operating system and office 2007 system and it
now works.

thanks

I personally would also try switching my default email client from
Outlook
to OE, and then switch back.

Hi

Thanks for these links. I downloaded the toolkit but this didn't help.
I
can't work out why Publisher thinks that Outlook is not the default
mail
client. Not really sure what to try now.

I think your issue is more with Outlook than Publisher.

articles below don't cover setting the mail client.

I have created a document for email merge. When I try to email it
gives me
the error message To send a publication as an email message you
must
install
and configure Microsoft office Outlook 2007 or Microsoft Outlook
Express
(version 5.0 or later) as the default email program on your
computer.
After
you configure the email program restart Publisher for the changes
to
take
effect. I am running Outlook and Publisher 2007. I have set
Outlook as
the
email default in Internet options and also within Outlook.

Thanks for the update, Linzi, its too bad you had to go through all that. I'm
glad it is working properly for you, I appreciate your taking the time to post
back.
