"email" is not a choice at "Select Doc Type"
I want to merge to Outlook Express, but "email" is not one
of the choices at the "Select Document Type" field. I have Word 2002. What gives? Is it something I can configure and then try again? -Bruce |

"email" is not a choice at "Select Doc Type"
To enable the Merge to e-mail option, try the following:
First, check that Internet Explorer|Tools|Internet Options|Programs (or the equivalent in older versions of IE) has your e-mail package set up to be your default e-mail client. It almost certainly is. Assuming that isn't enough, you may be able to fix this by adding some lines to the WIN.INI file, which should be in your Windows directory (typically C:\Windows) To try this, proceed with caution! Close all your programs (Word, your e-mail package at least), and open the WIN.INI file with Notepad and ensure the following lines are in there, or add them if they are not: [Mail] MAPI=1 CMC=1 CMCDLLNAME=mapi.dll CMCDLLNAME32=mapi32.dll MAPIX=1 MAPIXVER=1.0.0.1 OLEMessaging=1 (IN fact [Mail] MAPIX=1 should be enough, but the above lines are the ones you will typically find). For Word 2003, MS has put these entries in the Registry where they have belonged for years. The trouble is that I do not know what actually puts the correct entries in there, and editing the registry can be dangerous unless you know what you are doing. But you need to ensure that the folowing Key is in your Registry: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Messaging Subsystem You then need the following value (at least) within that key: Name: MAPIX Type: String Value (REG_SZ) Value: 1 You may also need some of the other ones you may have in your WIN.INI, e.g. Name: CMC Type: String Value (REG_SZ) Value: 1 Name: CMCDLLNAME Type: String Value (REG_SZ) Value: mapi.dll Name: CMCDLLNAME32 Type: String Value (REG_SZ) Value: mapi32.dll Name: MAPI Type: String Value (REG_SZ) Value: 1 Name: MAPIXVER Type: String Value (REG_SZ) Value: 1.0.0.1 Name: Olemessaging Type: String Value (REG_SZ) Value: 1 -- Peter Jamieson -- Peter Jamieson "Bruce M" wrote in message ...
