[Diane is finding word 2007 frustrating]

Hello world,

I would like to be able to type a page in word and have the option to email
it, but my email buttons are shaded grey and don't work. I bought the home
version and just added the key code as I had a trial version pre-installed in
the new computer.
I thought that the email buttons would then turn coloured so I could use them.
Any ideas?

I'm no specialist of email directly from Word (frankly, I never felt the
need to do so :-)), but what Word seems to be doing there is basically
tell the OS to startup its default email application. That's the same
that happens when, say, you are on a webpage and click on a mailto-type
hyperlink there.

So the first question is: is there a default (MAPI) email client
registered with your system?
