Change email icon in Excel 2007 to point to Winmail

[Doug]

The basic Office 2007 does not include Outlook. The email icon in the excel
quicklaunch bar does nothing. Is it possible to have this icon linl to
Vista's Windows Mail?

Hi Doug

as far as I am aware, all version of Office 2007 include Outlook 2007

Insert your CD and try re-installing Outlook.

Can you "Edit" the Icon contents? In 2003 you can, using "Customize".

Nope, no Outlook in the "Home and Student" version.

Sorry. It is Office Home & Student. Doesn't have Outlook. Even if it did,
what if I prefer Windows Mail to Outlook. Why doesn't excel use the
Programs list from IE?

Hi Doug

I was unaware that Home & Student edition does not have Outlook.
It does seem strange that Outlook is not included, and that no other option
is given.
Googling for this problem gave several responses where it appears that
OneNote, which is also part of the package, does have the facility to send
emails.
