I'm using Windows Mail and when I want to email a document out of Word 2007,
the email option is disabled. I don't want to send the document as an
attachment.

Take a look at the following thread

in which one respondent (Bob Keene) advised:

Solved problem of greyed out send email by downloading from the Microsoft
website the 2007 Microsoft Office Add-in: Save as PDF or XPS. This added
these features and opened the greyed out Sending email.

You can download that add-in from:

If you have the Home and Student version of Word that does not include
outlook, the following response from Gary VanderMolen may be what you need
to do:

Run your 2007 Home and Student edition CD and choose the option
to add specific components. Although there is no option to install Outlook,
you should have an option to install MAPI handlers. The MAPI handler
needs to be present before Word can "send to Email recipient".
