send copy of document in an email message as an attachment

[MW]

I can not send doc in an email message as an attachment because my "email"
under "Send" is not activated. I have Search all sources trying to find how
to "turn on" this option. I have gone to Word Options, All Commands etc. but
do not know what the problem is. I don't know if I have to do something
special in Outlook or what. Any help is appreciated.

Do you have Outlook set as your default e-mail application?

The "E-mail" command is missing or is unavailable in Excel 2007, in
PowerPoint 2007, or in Word 2007

I have Outlook Express. I wonder if I have to install Outlook instead of
Express to make this work. I have OE set as default but still not working.
I went to the link you sent me (Thanks) and made sure I had it set as default
but still did not work. Any other suggestions is most appreciated.

AFAIK Outlook Express will not work in this scenario - something to do with
Simple MAPI I believe. Installing Outlook and setting it as default will
cure the problem - if you can't really be bothered with the complexity of
Outlook than Mozilla Thunderbird (which is more like OE in appearance and
operation) will also work AFAIR...

Ya, I found another thread with a whole bunch of people with the same
problem. Obviously, another Bill Gates glitch...I will try the Mozilla
Thunderbird. I have to download Mozilla, right and then set up. I use Gmail
for all of my mails comings and goings, not Outlook anything but have the
Outlook Express. I can reinsstall the Outlook regular version if necessary.
This is SOOOOOO frustrating. Thanks for your help. MW

Outlook and Outlook Express are entirely different. Outlook (part of Office)
is required as the default e-mail application to make this work.
You can setup gmail as a pop account in Outlook. See

FWIW, I can send an attachment from Word 2007 using Outlook Express.
