Can't email document from Word or other applications

[Guest]

When I try to send (e-mail) a document from Word, an Outlook email screen
pops up, but when I hit send, nothing happens. Same is true if I try to send
from Excel, or even Adobe. Instead, I have to gointo outlook, open an email
box and attach the document from there.

Any idea how to fix this?

Hi Dana -

I'm having a similar problem. The problem started after we upgraded to
Outlook 2003 while still using Office XP (Word).

I gather from the various posts in the different Office Discussion Forums
that there is no fix for this. I keep hearing that we must upgrade to Office
2003 to get simple functionality back such as the "Send To" command in Word.

I can't accept that Microsoft has neglected to ensure that Outlook 2003
remain compatible with MAPI applications such as prior Office versions (i.e.
Word 2002)

It's simply ridiculous to be told we have to "UPGRADE" because there is no
backward compatibility.

I'm hoping someone out there has a REAL solution...

Alas, life is full of unpleasantries that one must face even if one doesn't
like them. To not accept reality is a sign of a damaged mind.

Upgrading IS the real solution (or, rather, not upgrading only one piece).
If you want Office integration, them you must use a single verison of
Office.
