My Word 1007 app looks for an exchange server. I use a POP server. How do I
fix this?

Err why would a Word Processing Application look for a MAIL server? What are
you doing when it does this?

Set Outlook as your default e-mail application.

I right click on the word document to send an e-mail message, and it gives me
an error message that my Microsoft Exchange Server cannot be accessed. I
don't use an Exchange server.

Let's start over.

My wife has a fairly new Dell w/ Vista Ultimate and Office 2007. When I
open Word and try to send a document as an e-mail attachment, I get the
following:

Login Failed: You must log on to Microsoft Exchange to access your address
book. Error Code: "Unspecified Error:

I see on other groups the same problem occurs, but no satisfactory solution
has been offered. I have set WLive Mail as the default mail handler.

Windows Live Mail does open, but a "new" message does not open to be
addressed.

Change your default e-mail application to Outlook and use Outlook Connector
to access your LiveMail account

I suspect that somehow, Outlook has been set up with a spurious "Exchange"
account. Have you checked? (It is the default unless you specify something
else...)

Word will not work directly with web mail. If it sees no valid mail
application it prompts for Microsoft Exchange to act as interface. Only
corporate users are likely to have Microsoft Exchange and for those it is a
job for the local IT support to fix.

The OP is using Windows Live Mail which is a mail client, not web mail.
