All my "send to" options in word are disabled.
Thanks Doug, but I had already tried this. and I have been using this stuff
before, and something (who knows what) seems to have busted it. I am running virus checkers etc, so I don't suspect anything in that line (unless they are causing this). I suspect some other entry in the regeistry is to blame. Pete.

If not, it won't hurt to run through the following information put together by Peter Jamieson: Quote 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\MiĀ*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. Peter Jamieson UnQuote -- Hope this helps.

This only seems to be effecting Word. They are all OK in other office programs like Excel and Power point |
