I can't send documents through Outlook 2003. When I right
click on a word document and select send I receive an
error message.

What is the error message? What version of Word? Are you right-clicking on
the document in Windows Explorer?

Even when I have outlook opened and then open Word 2003
compose a word document and try to send it I receive the
following:
1)operation failed
2)word couldn't send mail because of Mapi
failure "unspecified error"
3)This error can occur if you attempt to send a Word
document as an e-mail attachment in Word and the MAPI
session was closed and Word is no longer able to connect
to that MAPI session, or there is a problem with the fax
configuration.
To correct a MAPI related error: restart the MAPI e-mail
program (for example, Outlook) or save and close the
document, and then restart Word after restarting your
MAPI e-mail application. Word will establish a new MAPI
session, allowing the document to be sent.
To correct a problem with the fax configuration, review
the configuration settings for your fax software and make
the appropriate changes.
More information about this error message online.
Thanks

You might try using Internet Explorer's Tools | Internet Options | Programs
dialog to set another program as the default mail program, then set it back
to Outlook as default.
