Posting word file as ectension by Tbird

[Jim S]

My default mail client is Mozilla Thunderbird.
If I attempt to send a file from Word (2007) as attachment T'bird just
opens with no new email with attachment window. It works fine with Wordpad
and Publisher. Is there a known problem with Word/Thunderbird?

I have tried T'bird in Safe Mode to exclude extension problems.
It works OK with Outlook and Seamonkey, but then they are not my mail
clients.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Clients>Mail?

For Thunderbird to be used, you should see

(Default) REG_SZ Mozilla Thunderbird

have come to the Word ng having had no success in the Thunderbird ng (
