Send an email FROM word home & office, USING windows live mail

Hello all,

I have the new Windows 7 Home edition, and I'm trying to send email from
Microsoft Word, using windows live mail. When I try to send an email from
word I get the following message:

*logon failed. You must log on to Microsoft Exchange to access your address
book. Error code: "unspecified error".

When I close Microsoft word home and Student 2007, I get the following error
message:

*There is no email program associated to perform the requested action.
Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an
association in the Default Programs control panel.
I made Windows Live mail my default email program, and I still get the above
messages.
Please help me send emails from word on Windows Live Mail.

My Windows Live Mail works fine by itself.

The only way I can send a document created on word is by saving it and
sending from my saved files. I would like to be able to send a document
directly from the word program.

I tried the following link, but I don't have outlook, and I'm not sure how
I'm supposed to retreive data from Windows Live Mail. I guess I need to
import Data, but I'm not sure how?

Please help me solve my complex problem.
Thanks,
Mike

I may be wrong, but I don't think you can use the "Send-to" function in Word
with Windows Live Mail as WLM is not fully MAPI compliant. Outlook is, and
Mozilla Thunderbird is.
And didn't you post this in another group to which I gave the same answer?

Hi Gordon,

Yes, I did post this on a differant forum. Do you know if Microsoft plans on
making word compatible with Windows Live Mail?

Thanks,
Mike B.

It is not a question of making Word compliant, it is a question of adding
simple MAPI support to WLM.

Word works just fine.

CAN you add MAPI support to an email client that doesn't have it?

Yes, you can re-write it.
