Send an email FROM word home & office, USING windows live mail

G

Goshums

Hello all,

I have the new Windows 7 Home edition, and I'm trying to send email from
Microsoft Word, using windows live mail. When I try to send an email from
word I get the following message:

*logon failed. You must log on to Microsoft Exchange to access your address
book. Error code: "unspecified error".

When I close Microsoft word home and Student 2007, I get the following error
message:

*There is no email program associated to perform the requested action.
Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an
association in the Default Programs control panel.
I made Windows Live mail my default email program, and I still get the above
messages.
Please help me send emails from word on Windows Live Mail.

My Windows Live Mail works fine by itself.

The only way I can send a document created on word is by saving it and
sending from my saved files. I would like to be able to send a document
directly from the word program.

I tried the following link, but I don't have outlook, and I'm not sure how
I'm supposed to retreive data from Windows Live Mail. I guess I need to
import Data, but I'm not sure how?

Please help me solve my complex problem.
Thanks,
Mike

I may be wrong, but I don't think you can use the "Send-to" function in Word
with Windows Live Mail as WLM is not fully MAPI compliant. Outlook is, and
Mozilla Thunderbird is.
And didn't you post this in another group to which I gave the same answer?

Hi Gordon,

Yes, I did post this on a differant forum. Do you know if Microsoft plans on
making word compatible with Windows Live Mail?

Thanks,

It is not a question of making Word compliant, it is a question of adding
simple MAPI support to WLM.

Word works just fine.

CAN you add MAPI support to an email client that doesn't have it?

Yes, you can re-write it.

Hi Gordon & Milly,
Is this site supposed to help people with there computer problems, because
none of my questions have been answered.

If you don't know how to resolve my problem, or re-write the program, please
don't pretend you do.

Thanks,
Mike

Yes they have. You can't do Send-to in an Office document using WLM because
it's not fully MAPI compliant.
Where in that statement do you get stuck?

I thought you can re-write word somehow, according to Milly. Apparently you
can't. I'm not stuck, I just thought there was a way to make it MAPI
compliant.
Thanks,
Happy New Year!!

" Milly was being just a tad sarcastic! " Why be sarcastic at all?
Then again, that's nothing new here.

I'm sure many people who come here for answers have no one else to ask.
I know I don't, yet I'd rather skim over page after page after page hoping
to find an answer than post a question. A bunch of you seem to really enjoy
power tripping by treating people looking for help with contempt. Yeah, we
get it. You are all Oh So Very IMPORTANT people who volunteer here. Don't
volunteer if you are going to treat people like crap.
It's a shame so many of you have turned this into a clique.

This moron hasn't renewed his liking for techarena.? He is the same
moron who asked the meaning of "Procure" on these NG.

Now it seems he has mastered it after yours sincerely gave him the
definition.

Now he can s u c k the p u s s y of Peter Foldes' sister

I've read this entire thread but still would like to know HOW to use send
email in Microsoft Word Home and Student 2007, NOT what you can't do. Running
Windows7 and have the same problem and don't know how to set associations for
email between programs, etc.
Bottom line--HOW DO i GET IT TO WORK?
