Can't send Publisher documents via email

[AJM]

I created a newsletter using a Publisher 2003 email newsletter template. I
want to send this document as an email; however when the program creates the
email form no send button appears. Outlook is not my default email program.
Is it still possible to send Publisher documents by email?

From the Help file:

About sending a publication in e-mail
If you use Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 or Microsoft Outlook Express
(version 5.0 or later) as your default e-mail program, you can use Microsoft
Publisher to send your publication in e-mail.

and

Note To send the current page as an e-mail message or to preview the
current page before sending, you must have Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 or
Microsoft Outlook Express (version 5.0 or later) installed on your computer.

What I really need to know is why no send button appears when I select the
send as an email option? I'm able to enter to and from email addresses and a
subject line, but there is no send button available to send the email. Is
this procedure an option if you use an email program other than Outlook, such
as Eudora or Mozilla Mail?

I'm not an expert on this but my guess is that you *have* to use Outlook or
Outlook Express (which makes sense with Pub being a MS product as well). If
you can enter a to and from that may be because of some similarity in
program up to a point.

But like I said, I'm winging it.

Thanks. I played around with Publisher for a bit and when I selected Outlook
Express as my default email the send button appeared.
