email icon greyed out in Office Home and Student 97

[Rock]

Installed Vista Home and Office Home and Student software on my computer. I
tried to send out a word document to a friend through microsoft mail, but
can't because the email icon is greyed out under the send to menu. I am using
Vista's Mail not outlook.
Also;
Can any one tell me why the headers in this suite states non commercial use,
this is a retail version I purchased and is activated but I am unable to
acces the web from inside the programs.

I have a similar problem. E-mail option is greyed out in all products in
Office Home and Student 2007. I can't send documents. The e-mail client I am
using is Windows Live mail desktop version. Can anyone help.

 

[Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook]]

Home and student versions are for non-commercial use, e.g., you can't run a business with this software as that is not something a home user or student user would need. Ever wonder why the license for this version is so low and allows 3 installs? Now you know.

No, MVPs are never condescending.

After furious head scratching, NickT asked:

Note that NickT is *NOT* the OP. Apparently, not all MVPs are careful
readers.

And it would also seem some MVPs aren't particularly careful in
choosing to whom to reply. NickT *COULD* be a student attempting to
share Office documents with others for a collaborative school project.
There's nothing in his posting that would suggest business use. Unless
one wants to associate the OP's presumed illicit use automatically
impugns NickT's intended use.

Don't hold your breath waiting for Milly's appology. She likes piling
on and playing hall monitor too darn much.

 

[NickT]

Sorry to say but I think your reply is ridiculous especially considering you
are an MVP. I'm not in business and nor is rest of family. We are home users
wanting to send various documents like letters, material that I've created
for my Rotary club to aid a Aids orphans home initiative in Africa and other
personal stuff to others. I can't believe that MS took this feature out as it
was considered purely 'commercial'. Would very much appreciate a proper,
considered reply to my query about this problem from the Office 2007 Product
Manager if you can get hold of him/her please.

 

[JoAnn Paules]

No one said you can't send a document via email. Use Outlook Express if
you're using Win XP or Windows Mail if you're using Vista.

[NickT]

Of course I can do that fairly easily although I need to leave the office
program I'm using, swap over to the e-mail system etc etc. But it's more
convenient and quicker to send from the tool one is using at the time as you
must appreciate. Your reply indicates the stupidity of MS greying
out/removing the feature from this version of Office 2007 so why not put it
back in and prove you are listening to your customers like you say you have
been doing with Vista and Office 2007.

No one said you can't send a document via email. Use Outlook Express if
you're using Win XP or Windows Mail if you're using Vista.

Milly 98% of what I and my family do is neither non-commerical nor
non-profit. If you are a betting person then I bet you $100 that within a
year this feature is back in the product as it's crazy to have been left out.
Let me know if you want to take the bet or not? What does it achieve apart
from causing irritation in all homes around the globe as one has to go out to
the e-mail client to send the file as an attachment. at least pass my request
on to the right people in MS and show that you have a heart of gold
underneath that cold, unsympathic, business-like facade that comes out in
your replies.

So I was right about not holding our breath waiting for an apology.

From the Microsoft Office 2007 Home and Student page:

Yes. Office Home and Student 2007 is licensed only for
noncommercial use by households. It cannot be used in commercial
(business) situations.

FYI - non-profit is considered a business.

OK so Milly is ignorant of the legal distinction between MEMBERS of
clubs providing materials to other members and EMPLOYEES of clubs
doing the same thing. She may also be ignorant of how Rotary clubs
operate.

 

[NickT]

No she is not. She got it right. Rotary is a non-profit organisation.

 

[Harlan Grove]

No she is not. She got it right. Rotary is a non-profit
organisation.

Sorry. I was unclear. I meant how non-employee members of clubs like
Rotary perform tasks for the other members' and the outside
communities' benefit. Non-employee club members using their own PCs to
do things for their club on a unremunerated basis DOES constitute
noncommercial use, at least in the US. Unremunerated board members and
officers would be a gray area, but even MSFT would be wary about going
after such people.

I do think a rather large number of Home & Student licensees would be
surprised to learn that they were banned by their license terms from
writing, say, a PTA meeting agenda that they could share with other
PTA members at that meeting.

 

[JoAnn Paules]

Time out! I asked you a question to try to help you and you jump on my case?


BTW - I don't have any "customers". I am not a Microsoft employee. I do this
for free so I'd rather help someone who won't bite my head off. And since
*I* can email from from applications, I guess I must know what I'm
doing...unlike you.
