I have a somewhat different situation. I have four different computers in
the house, all running XP Pro with Office 2003. The most recent addition is
an IBM laptop. Like all the others, I have configured Thunderbird as the
default e-mail client, but have my girlfriends e-mail running through Outlook
Express. On the the other three computers, I can e-mail and open office
document by doing the file, send to mail recipient option. I usually send it
as an attachment. On the most recent computer, that option is grayed out.
When I change the default e-mail client to Outlook Express, I have the
option to send e-mail, but not as an attachment, only with e-mail program
opening up with in the Word document. Is there some setting on this computer
that I am missing?

Hi Monkey1,
Email from Word 2007 with Outlook Express
======
With Word 2007 and Windowx XP, if MS Outlook Express is set as the default email client within Outlook Express and if within Word
you customize the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) (Alt, T, O, C) and use the 'all commands' list and add the 'Send to Email Recipient'
then when working within a Word 2007 document you should get, when clicking on that added icon, the same 'envelope' for addressing
the currently opened Word document and sending it from within Word that you would get under older versions of Word from
File=Send to=Mail Recipient.
MS Office Outlook isn't required in that scenario.
Note that when receiving an email generated from Word and received in Outlook Express that OE may not honor the expected graphics
sizes you were using.
Exporting Group email Addresses from OE
=========================================
As far as moving or copying a set of Outlook Express addresses to a different email program, what email programs have you tried to
use and what steps were you following?
There is a feature in Outlook Express that allows you to add email addresses that only appear within the context of the group.
There are some 3rd party utilities that can extract the names, but one way to do it is to create a blank email addressed to the
group then save it to the draft folder, open it and all of the email addresses are available in the 'to' line, including the
'mystery' ones.

Well, first of all, I don't think I should have to 
but I tried to do this
before and many of my addresses in OE will not move over to any email
program. I have a large number of groups and names that don't show up except
in these groups (they're sort of greyed out in OE) and when I attempted this
before, those names did not show up. Maybe i should give it another go as I
do have a current back up of all my contacts. I just find this an enormous
PITA.
