Lotus Notes and Office

[Khanair]

I can't get seem to get the Send to option in Word, Excel, etc. to work with
Lotus Notes. They keep showing up grayed out. Has anyone experienced this
problem before?

Lotus Notes and Microsoft Office are two different applications.
You cannot send a document created in Microsoft Office to Lotus Notes.

You can send a document created in Office to Lotus Notes. However for some
reason with most installs the Sent to -> Mail Recipient option is greyed out
in Word and Excel. Khanair, you will probably find that the Send To -> Mail
Recipient option IS available to you from within Powerpoint.

I am experiencing the same problems using Microsoft Word 2002 (xp) SP3 with
Lotus Notes 6, however I have seen the same issue exist on machines with
Lotus Notes 7 and the same version of Office.

I found a document on the web outlining this exact same issue in Office
2003, where the fix was to add and modify half a dozen or so registry
entries, though this did not work for my problems.

Have located the fix for this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296396

Basically you need to add the line MAPIX=1 to your win.ini file (which is
located in the C:\WINDOWS directory), under the [Mail] section. You shouldn't
need to restart your machine.

Hope this helped!

Thank you for the info, I will definitely give that a try. I know this
definitely works on some machines. I am working on this issue for one of
our users at my company. Him and I share the same versions of Notes (6.5.3)
and Office (2003 SP2). However the send to option works for me with all my
apps but doesn't work for him. I'm wondering if there is a particular
sequence to install the two softwares.

Thanks for all of your help!!
