File>send to> Mail Recipient (For Review)

When I am in my new Word 2003, and I want to email the document I've been
working on, I go to File>Send To and the only option available is 'Mail
Recipient (For Review)' and that's greyed out.

How can I un-grey it and have other mail options available, like just "Mail
Recipient"?

Did this work in the previous version you had installed? If it did, I would
guess that you have a version mismatch. What mail client are you using? Make
sure that it is set as the default Email client and that its version matched
Word2003.

Thanks for the reply, Terry. I used to have Word 2002 from Microsoft Works
but now have the standalone version of 2003. I don't know how to set the
default email client nor how to match it's version. How do I do that?

Open Internet Explorer and select Tools, Internet Options, Programs tab to
set the defaults. Also, if you have the Word Add-in installed (part of Works
Suite), use Add/Remove programs to uninstall it as this too can cause many
probelms.

Thanks, Terry. But it's already selected in Internet Explorer. I use
Firefox. Would that make some sort of difference?

Theoretically, Sent To will pick up the default email client. However, I
frequently see incompatibility problems when a different version of Word
than Outlook is used. I'm guessing that this is what is happening for you.

I know that there are strange happenings with compatibility. When I
uninstalled Office 2003 and installed Office 2007, I lost the English(UK)
spelling in Outlook Express I use as the NG reader and I currently have to
fight with English (US)!!!

So, what are my options? I'm using OE v. 6 and I think it's the most
current version. I considered deleting it and reinstalling it but wanted to
keep my address book and emails so tried to export them. The address book
transported fine but I got an error message when trying to export the email
files so won't run the risk of having them deleted by reinstalling OE 6.

Got any ideas? Thanks for your help...

You may get a better response if you try the Windows Outlook Express NG.
