Windows Live Mail as Default E-mail Application for Word Applicati

[Windows Live Mail User]

Is is possible when you want to email an open Word document to use your
Windows Live Mail application?

I resently setup Windows Live Mail on my computer which is operating with
Windows Vista Home Edition. I am using Microsoft Office Home Edition.

When I open Word and type a new document, then while the document is still
open I select Send To Recipient and the application opens it wants me to set
up the Windows Mail email application. I am unable to set up the Windows
Mail account. Windows Live Mail was setup on this computer as the default
email application.

How can I email an open Word document if I only have/use my Hotmail email
account? It doesn't seen to be very efficient if I have to open Windows Live
Mail, start a new message then attach the Word document before emailing.

Ensure that WLM has all its defaults set, go to default programs, either
from the Start menu or in control panel.
set your default programs>wait for the list to populate>WLM>set this program
as default.

You may be able to set your Hotmail service as the default email:

You probably won't be able to email directly from Word unless you
install Outlook. Outlook supplies a MAPI handler which Word needs
in order to send directly via your default email client.
