Thanks much, Suzanne and Garfield.
Garfield, I made the changes to the WIN.INI file (Boy! Sure had to dredge
up some memories about how to line edit a file!). Suzanne, I checked
Internet Explorer Programs page and Outlook Express was already checked as
the default. One possibility...my default browser is FireFox - not Internet
Explorer. Would that make a difference? I don't remember how to change
that or I'd check.
Also, when I am in Word and click on "File - Send To", only "Mail Recipient
(For Review)..." is displayed and it is greyed out. I can't even test the
new code to see if that makes any difference. How can I send a real
message?
Again, thank you both. I really appreciate it.
Mike

Check your WIN.INI file for the following [Mail] key values:
[Mail]
MAPI=1
CMC=1
CMCDLLNAME=mapi.dll
CMCDLLNAME32=mapi32.dll
MAPIX=1
MAPIXVER=1.0.0.1
OLEMessaging=1

Thanks Suzanne,
You've got the issue nailed. What I want to do is FileSend ToMail
Recipient. 1) Mail Recipient (For Review) is greyed out, 2) I don't want
to send it "For Review" but as a final message, and 3) How do I select OE
as my default mail client? #1 is a new issue but #2 is a concern, and 3)
was the original reason for this query.
Thanks a million for your help.

I use OE to send attachments from Word: File | Send To | Mail Recipient
(as
Attachment). To do this I believe you must have "Mail as attachment"
checked
on the General tab of Tools | Options. I assume I could also use File |
Send
To | Mail Recipient (which would send the document as the body of the
message), but I've never had the need to do this. All you need is to have
OE
selected as your default mail client.

I just got Word 2003 and want to email a document using Outlook Express.
How can I 'install' an option or parameter such that Word will use OE to
email the document? I don't have Office.
I'm using XP, SP-2 and am current with all updates. Thank you very much
in
advance.
