E-Mailing from Word / Excel with Outlook as Default E-mail Program

Using Office 2003.

I can't e-mail Word or Excel files as attachments from within Word & Excel
[File/Send To/Mail Recipient (as attachment)] unless Outlook is open. The
default Outlook e-mail pane comes up, and I can type a message and "send" the
attachment, but it is not actually sent. Only upon opening the full Outlook
program does the e-mail get sent. (When I subsequently open Outlook, the
[Outbox] shows an unsent e-mail which is then sent.)

I have Hotmail (paid) and Comcast e-mail accounts. Doesn't matter which
e-mail account I use.

Outlook is set as my default e-mail program. If I set Outlook Express as my
default e-mail program, the e-mail actually gets sent without ever opening
Outlook Express.

Any suggestions? Thanks...
 
Keep Outlook open. (Seriously as there is no resolution because the program
are behaving as designed.)
 
ok, thanks. Strange. I would have thought it would work the same as if
Outlook Express were the default e-mail program. If Outlook has to be open
anyway, I may as well just create e-mails and attach files in it rather than
using File/send to within the application.
