It used to when I select "send as attachment" from word, Outlook was the
program that launched and was used to e-mail the docs. Now every time I tried
to e-mai a doc from Word, it kicks me out to the internet and onto my mail
account (via internet) and asks me to reattach the doc... all kinds of mess..

How do I make Outlook my default e-mail application from word (or for word)?

Thanks for the help

Regards

Open Internet Explorer. Choose Tools--Internet options. On the Programs
tab, make sure Outlook is the chosen one.

Also, in Outlook itself, go to Tools | Options | Other and check the box for
"Make Outlook the default program for E-mail, Contacts, and Calendar."
