Cannot email from within Word 2007 "Blue Max" <mailrichard[ at ]msn.com> 11/18/2008 7:40:31 AM Can anyone help? We try to email a document (Office Button > Send) from within Word 2007, but nothing happens. Upon checking the Windows Vista Task Manager, we can see the Outlook.exe process running, but Task Manager does not report an Outlook.exe application and the 'New Message' window is not displayed on the screen. This conflict locks up Word 2007 which cannot be closed until the process is terminated. If Outlook is running, we are often able to successfully email the document because the 'New Message ' window will appear on the screen. Unfortunately, having to open Outlook each time is very frustrating and defeats the purpose of the "integrated" email feature in Word. Any ideas what is happening and why Outlook will not display a 'New Message' window out of Word 2007?

Re: Cannot email from within Word 2007 "Blue Max" <mailrichard[ at ]msn.com> 11/27/2008 8:04:48 AM Yes, we have tried to set Outlook 2007 as the default email program under Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs > Set program access and computer defaults. Unfortunately, it appears that this default is not saved, because it is reset to "Use my current e-mail program" every time we re-enter the dialog. Furthermore, we are not really sure what it means to "Use my current e-mail program." We also noted that Outlook 2007 retains all its defaults under Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs > Set Default Programs. Regardless, we still continue to have the same problem.

Re: Cannot email from within Word 2007 "Blue Max" <mailrichard[ at ]msn.com> 11/29/2008 3:19:37 AM We are using Outlook 2007 as our email program, but we typically don't open it until we need it for something. Regardless, the email editor should open when we send a document from within Word or any other application. At least it always has done on a number of our other computers. Furthermore, the process OUTLOOK.EXE is always loaded into memory when sending the document from within Word 2007, it is just that the email editor does not open on the screen.

Re: Cannot email from within Word 2007 "Blue Max" <mailrichard[ at ]msn.com> 11/29/2008 3:29:08 AM Thank you for the reply, Terry. So you are saying that 'Use my current email program' means that the default program will be used? Furthermore, this would infer that choosing another program is simply a way of over-riding the default, correct? I agree with you, it is ridiculous that the option button is not set for the default program or, at very least, that the 'Use my current email program' item could echo the current program in parens after the setting. All of this is too confusing. The user is never sure what the difference is between "Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs > Set program access and computer defaults,"Programs > Default Programs > Set Default Programs," and now, according to Suzanne, another setting inside Internet Explorer. Can someone explain all the differences and the precedence? What cancels what and what over-rides what?
