Unfortunately I cannot help with the registry edit. I repeated the message
from fellow contributor Peter Jamieson who may be watching. FWIW it works
here without the registry changes on Word 2003.

Ok, I have the mail section done, but I have some questions on the
regedit.exe step.

In the MSMapApps there are
(Default) REG_SZ
choosur.dll REG_SZ
inetsw95.exe REG_SZ

I added MAP1 but I'm confused about what values to put for everything.

c. In your Windows folder, locate and run regedit.exe. If you're
on an older version of Windows you might need to use
regedt32.exe.

Look for a key called

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mi*crosoft\Windows Messaging
Subsystem

I would be surprised if it was not there in recent versions of
Windows, but
if it is not, add it.

If it is there, I would expect to see
d. a subkey claled MSMapiApps
e. a number of "values" with the same names as are in the above
list - MAPI, MAPIX etc.
f. an additional value called InstallCmd

If you cannot see the (e) values, you need to add them. For each
of the values in the above list
g. right click "Windows Messaging Subsystem" and select
New|String Value.
Note that although some of these items have numeric values, they
should all
be entered as String Values.
h. enter the name, as above
i. double click on the name. A dialog box appears. Enter the
value (e.g.
for the name CMCDLLNAME, enter mapi.dll) and click OK
j. You may also need to create the InstallCmd value, although I
rather doubt it. I am less sure about this and about what should
go in there. On my
system, the value is:
rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection MSMAIL 132 msmail.inf

The [Mail] section may already be present but incomplete in which
case add the missing lines to that section.
You will probably need to reboot after making the changes.

oops, I mean where do I put
[Mail]
MAPI=1
CMCDLLNAME32=mapi32.dll
CMCDLLNAME=mapi.dll
CMC=1
MAPIX=1
MAPIXVER=1.0.0.1
OLEMessaging=1

in the WIN.INI file?

First, make sure that the e-mail program you want to use is set
up to be the
default e-mail program (e.g. via Internet Explorer|Tools|Internet
Options|Programs, and send at least one message using it.

Then Word needs some stuff in WIN.INI and/or in the Windows
registry before it will show you the E-mail option. I believe
that for Word 2003 it
needs to be in the Windows registry, but that may depend also on
the version
of Windows so it is probably better to put the information in
both places.

For WIN.INI,
a. find the WIN.INI file in your Windows folder (typically
c:\WINDOWS),
make a backup copy of it, and open it in Notepad.
b. ensure that the following text is in there, and add it if not

[Mail]
MAPI=1
CMCDLLNAME32=mapi32.dll
CMCDLLNAME=mapi.dll
CMC=1
MAPIX=1
MAPIXVER=1.0.0.1
OLEMessaging=1

You will need to close all copies of Word before this change has
a chance of
taking effect. It is probably safest to restart Windows to be
completely
sure.

If that isn't enough, you will need to edit the registry. Proceed
with caution!

c. In your Windows folder, locate and run regedit.exe. If you're
on an older version of Windows you might need to use
regedt32.exe.

When you have done them all, press F5. Then close all copies of
Word and
restart it - or restart Windows, then restart Word and see if the
e-mail
option has appeared.

Hi, I'm trying to use Word 2003 to do a email merge but there's
no email option. Is this correct?
