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?

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. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Garfield" wrote in message ...

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? "Derek Schmidt" wrote: So it works on XP, but has anyone figured out for Vista yet?

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. Terry "OspreyEye" wrote in message ...

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. =========== "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ...

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.

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. ============== "OspreyEye" wrote in message ...

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. "Bob Buckland ?:-)" wrote: Hi OspreyEye, The Office Button=Send to link is a Send as Attachment choice.
