How to stop using Outlook Express to Send doc to mail recipient a.

[Guest]

I have Outlook 2003 set up on my pc, but whenever I want to send a document
from within Word or Excel as an attachment via email, it seems to bring up
Outlook Express and wants to set up an Internet email account, instead of
opening an Outlook 2003 message. How can I configure Office to go to Outlook
2003 instead of Outlook Express when sending a document as an email
attachment?

Hi Carolin

In Internet Explorer, Tools > Internet Options. On the Programs tab, set
Outlook to be your default email program.

You can then check this by opening up Outlook Express. Within Outlook
Express, do Tools > Options. On the General Tab, it should say that OE is
*not* the default mail handler.

Hope this helps.
