Default why can't i send doc by email

It is now Feb. and now have two computers running Vista and using Windows
Mail. When are the servicepacks coming out? Or is the solution to change
the OS back to Windows XP?

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?

Not on XP - if I set Thunderbird as my default email client instead of

within
Word...

Servicepacks 1 for both Vista and Office have been released to manufacture.
Usually it is 4 to 6 weeks before they will appear on the shelf. However,
the updates should be available for download prior to then. I don't have any
inside information, but my guess would be that the downloads will be
available in 2+ weeks.

I find it amazing that this many have had the same problem, and yet MS Office
2007/Vista has not provided a fix. It is obviously very common, and yet there
are still denials that it happens. Let's get with it - cut the dialogue and
fix it.

Fix the "Send-Email" gray-out that occurs within the WORD 2007/Vista
program! anyone that needs to can do a work around through their email
program using an attachment - but if that is the case, and the only fix, why
include the grayed out EMAIL prompt. Isn't anyone from Microsoft
listening/watching to this dialogue on the www.microsoft.com website?

I've not seen any word from MS about this but AFAIAA, Word 2007 will only
let you send as an email when you are using Outlook 2007 as the email
client. Otherwise you can only send as an attachment.

Hi Terry,

It will work with Thunderbird and Outlook Express on Windows XP. Windows Vista Mail (the updated OE) doesn't provide the hooks for
doing this with Word. I don't know if that's also true with other email apps on Vista.

As I see it now, there is no way to correct the "disappearing grayed out
Email link" under the Pie Plate yet. HOWEVER, there is a way of having this
internal function available WITHOUT correcting the Pie Plate issue, and to
create an even more accessible function key for sending EMail.

Put the SEND TO MAIL RECIPIENT link on the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT)
instead of the EMAIL link. The EMAIL link on the QAT is also grayed out on my
MS WORD 2007/Vista and cannot be used.

To place this link on the QAT, go to the QAT dropdown on MS Word 2007. Drop
down to:
MORE COMMANDS
CHOOSE COMMANDS FROM:
ALL COMMANDS
SEND TO MAIL RECIPIENT

After you have added the SEND TO MAIL RECIPIENT to the QAT, use that to send
the document you are working on to the recipient. This works on VISTA with MS
WORD 2007 and OUTLOOK EXPRESS. You will not need the EMAIL link on the QAT,
just the SEND TO MAIL RECIPIENT.

Forget the Pie Plate EMail link; leave that to MS to work out on a later
mod. Let me know if this does not work on your combo of programs. Also,
please tell me why this works on mine.

Safe travelling - blue side up!

Hi OspreyEye,

The Office Button=Send to link is a Send as Attachment choice. In Windows XP it will work with Thunderbird, Outlook Express or
Outlook set as the default email client. Outlook 2007 does not use Word as the email editor, it uses its own Word 'clone' and if
Outlook 2007 is the default email client you get different message editors in Word from the QAT and Office=Send to options.

The Send to Mail Recipient item on the QAT will allow you to send document content from within Word with the same clients, but don't
be surprised if the resulting HTML email received by others, especially if you have inserted pictures and resized them, doesn't look
the way you saw it when you sent it.

Did you install Outlook Express in Vista separately? Windows Mail (Outlook Express successor) has been reported as not working from
the QAT in Vista.

Bob

Yes. I should have made that clearer: this is with VISTA.

I've not seen anything from MS about this, but Office 2007 completely
ignores Windows Mail - even the spell checker in Mail is English (US) only
at the moment.

Sorry I missed the Windows Mail/Outlook Express nomenclature. I use Windows
Mail but keep calling it Outlook Express. I will jump on the band wagon soon
enough.

My suggestion above pertains to my combo of Vista, MSOffice Word 2007 and
Windows Mail. This also works with MS Excel 2007.
