When attempting to email an item from Word or Excel, message comes up
"Message could not be sent, An error has occurred". Email itself works fine,
just not through Word or Excel.

Go to Default Programs, either on the Start Menu or in Control Panel and
ensure the WM has all its defaults set.
 
Thank you for the reply.

I did as you suggested and found three associations: Win Mail e-mail
message, Mail to protocol, start link menu and all were set to Win. Mail as
default. There was no reference to Excel or Word.

Using WinVista

After doing a little reading, see this for example:

I think that you might get a more pertinent response from one of the Office
Newsgroups?

Word and Excel can't send through Windows Mail unless the MAPI
handler is present. Typically, the MAPI handler is installed when
you install Outlook.
