Evidently Word 2007 recognizes only Outlook 2007 as a mail client.

Not on XP - if I set Thunderbird as my default email client instead of
Outlook, Word 2007 calls Thunderbird when I email a document from within

That's good news, since I use Outlook Express, but I'd heard rumors that
Word 2007 was honoring only Outlook.

So it works on XP, but has anyone figured out for Vista yet? Seems strange
that Word2007 wouldn't recognize the default program (Windows Mail) but only
the one that either comes by itself as a single expensive program (Outlook),
or as an even more expensive package deal... or does it?

I can confirm that Word 2007 and Windows Mail are incompatible but we hope
that this is a bug and will be fixed when the servicepacks are launched
early next year.

Default why can't i send doc by email

Okay, so I'm confused.
I have Windows XP and MSOffice Home/Student 2007 and Outlook Express as my
email program. And OE is set as the default in my Control Panel.

I cannot email a document from any program in Home/Student 2007 as it is
always grayed out and.

This is very very annoying. I can't chnge my emil program to something
else. Is there a way to send emails using OE and XP and Home/Student
2007....Yes or No??????????????????

Thanks.

Why not? Mozilla Thunderbird will send documents mailed from the "Mail to"
function within Office 2007 (Standard that is - shouldn't be any different
from Home and Student...)

Well, first of all, I don't think I should have to but I tried to do this
before and many of my addresses in OE will not move over to any email
program. I have a large number of groups and names that don't show up except
in these groups (they're sort of greyed out in OE) and when I attempted this
before, those names did not show up. Maybe i should give it another go as I
do have a current back up of all my contacts. I just find this an enormous
PITA.

Default why can't i send doc by email

Hi Monkey1,

Email from Word 2007 with Outlook Express
======

With Word 2007 and Windowx XP, if MS Outlook Express is set as the default email client within Outlook Express and if within Word
you customize the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) (Alt, T, O, C) and use the 'all commands' list and add the 'Send to Email Recipient'
then when working within a Word 2007 document you should get, when clicking on that added icon, the same 'envelope' for addressing
the currently opened Word document and sending it from within Word that you would get under older versions of Word from
File=Send to=Mail Recipient.

MS Office Outlook isn't required in that scenario.

Note that when receiving an email generated from Word and received in Outlook Express that OE may not honor the expected graphics
sizes you were using.

Exporting Group email Addresses from OE
=========================================
As far as moving or copying a set of Outlook Express addresses to a different email program, what email programs have you tried to
use and what steps were you following?

There is a feature in Outlook Express that allows you to add email addresses that only appear within the context of the group.
There are some 3rd party utilities that can extract the names, but one way to do it is to create a blank email addressed to the
group then save it to the draft folder, open it and all of the email addresses are available in the 'to' line, including the
'mystery' ones.
