Default Word 2007 and email

I installed Home and Student 2007. No problems. However, when I tried to
email from Word, the Email portion was greyed out. Fax was fine. I am
using Windows Mail as my email. I do not have Outlook, nor do I have access
to the Outlook program. What are my options here. Need some direction. I
know that I can copy and paste, and I can attach in my email. I really would
like to email directly from Word, or Excel, or PP.
Thanks

Default Word 2007 and email

Thanks Doug, but here is the problem.
Method 1
All the boxes I have are
Default Web Browser
Manage Add Ons
HTML editing
Internet Programs
No where can I find an Email box
Method 2
Not that comfortable changing my Registry
Method 3
I am aware that I can use the attachment in WinMail.

Any other ideas for me.
Thanks

Others have reported success with Method 2. I know that the warning sounds
a bit dire, but if you follow the instructions (it is best to print out the
article so that you can refer to it easily), you should be OK.

crossed my fingers and plunged right in. It Worked!!!
