outlook 97

[Guest]

I have Outlook 97 on my system, but I can only send email by going to hotmail
through the MSN home page or by clicking "hotmail"on my browser.

I want to create documents in Word and send them via Outlook, without having
to log in to hotmail and send the doc. as an attachment.

How do I configure my Outlook to recognise my email address and send
messages? I have tried every option in the toolbar and though "control
panel", but nowhere is there a dialogue box that I can type in my own sender
details.
