As others have indicated, you cannot use a web mail account with Word. You
can however setup gmail as a POP server which will allow you to set it up in
Windows Mail or Outlook. The first two illustrations at
http://www.gmayor.com/use_google_gma...emove_spam.htm will show you how
to do that. The rest of the article refers to setting up gmail to launder
external mail accounts, but should give you some insight into how to collect
mail from gmail. gmail itself will give you enough information on how to
*send* email using a third party application..

Hi Doug,
I don't want to screw up my computer by blindly changing things so I
want to make sure I understand you. Internet Explorer, Tools,
Internet Options, Programs, Internet Programs (choose program you
want to use for other internet services, such as email), box with SET
PROGRAM, click set default program... After that, I'm stuck. I see
Windows Mail. I see Google ( I have a Gmail account). What do I do
now?
Also, I have Microsoft 2007 Home and Office with Word and Mail. My
email address is @gmail.com
Thanks for your help, Doug!!!

The following was originally posted by Peter Jamieson:

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.

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

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 Terry,
I'm sorry but my level of expertise isn't the best. First, the
click on office button,send, fax or email, select email. That is
my goal. Only Fax
is a viable option. Email is "greyed out".
Two, the QAT (i had no idea what that was until I surfed enough
posts). I followed the advice you posted. Email appears as a
"checked box". But nothing else happens.
Thanks for your time and expertise. Sending the doc to someone
while in the
program is a huge benefit.

Click on the Office Button and select Send, Email which will send
the document as an attachment.

If you want to send as part of an email rather than attachment,
then you need to add the missing command to the QAT. Right-click
on he QAT and choose
All Commands and then add the Send to Mail Recipient command to
the QAT.
