The issue is caused because the Word Home Student edition probably does not
include Outlook. See if the information at http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk:80/t0002.htm will help you find a work around that allows use of your default mail program. -- Hope this helps.

Thanks Doug,
I saw that before and it looks like Vista is set up way different. I thought that it would work since windows mail was a replacement to Outlook. Looking at the box the student version does not include outlook. It looks like I will have to look for a thrid party program.

1. It is possible to merge to email via Windows Mail. However, you cannot
a. Use Windows Mail directly as a data source for the merge (you have to export contacts as a seprate step) b. do a merge to HTML format email. The full Outlook is the only program I know that does that. 2. If you are running a 64-bit version of Vista you might need to put the entries described in that article under the following registry key as well (or instead): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\ Windows Messaging Subsystem 3. In Vista, you can set Windows Mail to be the default email program by going to Control Panel-Default Programs-Set Default Programs, then Select Windows Mail and click "Set this Program As Default". If that does not work, try the "Choose Defaults for this Program" and check everything. One or two people have reported back that doing all that stuff did not work either but that's all I can tell you! -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Gogol Farm" .(donotspam) wrote in message ...
