I am not using MS Outlook and you are correct I am using WM. IE, Version 7
and MS Office Home & Student 2007 with MS Vista Premium. I do not intend to
use Outlook. I know I need to change to something different because since
late Nov. I've been having a problem with WM--my spell check suddently
stopped working and is giving me these error messages: When I click on "abc"
it says: An error occurred while spelling was being checked. When I go to
send the email anyway, another error message comes up: The spell check on
this document has been halted.
I have been in correspondence with MS Communities on Windows Mail and have
tried the things they suggested and nothing seems to work. They suggest I go
to WLM but when I downloaded WLM, my folders came over but not all the
folders had the info in them. Some had nothing in them. So I uninstalled
WLM. Now I suddenly can't send a Word documen as an attachement to WM. I
have done this in the past the same way as I tried to do it now and it's not
working now?????
Here's the link in MS Communities about my problem in case you wanted to
see what I'm talking about (you don't have to do this, I know you're not with
WM):

Thanks for telling me I did nothing wrong in getting help in MS Word
Communities. I thought I did it right but got a little frightened by Doug's
response to me.
Thanks again. Do you have any more suggestions?

I'm afraid you're missing the main point of the KB article Doug referred you
to: Those features only work if you're using Outlook as your email client
which - according to your op - you're not, you're using Windows Mail:
CAUSE
This issue may occur when Microsoft Outlook is not installed on the
computer.
Just in case you do have Outlook & intend to change to it as your email
client, the instructions in that article appear to be incomplete. Once you
get to the Programs page you need to click the Set Programs button in the
bottom section [Internet Programs], then click the link for "Set program
access & computer defaults" & "Continue" - that's where you'll finally get
to the Custom setting. Click the double down arrow adjacent to Custom & pick
the "Choose a default e-mail program:" option for Microsoft Office Outlook.
I don't think they could have buried it any deeper if they'd tried :-) Ahhh,
so much for "accessibility" & "discoverability", huh?

I'm trying to send a word document as an attachment to my "Windows Mail"
and
it won't let me. I know I did this before and it worked. I don't know
what
I'm doing wrong now. This is what I did:
I rec'd an email from a company and they gave me a link to reply to. When
I
clicked on that link I rec'd a message saying:
Internet Exployer cannot download. Unspecified error. So I replied to
the
company and told them the link didn't work. They replied back to me
saying
they tried it and it worked for them and for me to try it again. I did.
It
gave me the same message.
So I want to send them a cc of the error screen that appeared in the email
they sent me.
So I copied the page and pasted it on a Word Document and saved it. I
opened it and went down to "Send" and the option to email was not
highlighted
so I couldn't do it.
Any Suggestions ?????
Thanks.
