email icon greyed out in Office Home and Student 97

Thanks, really. However, when I do that, I have Outlook Express set as the
email program. But, in Word 07, the option to sent to email recipient is
still grayed out....

Open IE and go to Tools/Internet Options. On the Programs tab, make sure you

Excuse my ignorance: I have almost the same question. I just bought MS
Office Home/Student 2007. I use Outlook Express for email, on a Win XP
system (brand new, I might add). Am I reading this right that the reason
I
cannot use the send to email recipient option is that Outlook Express does
NOT integrate with Word 07? The way this came up is today trying to send
a
family tree information sheet to a relative (clearly, personal use).

Am I reading this right that I cannot send email from within Word 07 but
must save, start OE, and attach the document to an email that way?

What if I bought Outlook (unlikely to occur, but what if). Would the
email
option still be greyed out in Word 07???

Thank you.

I don't see how eliminating OE integration is a feature or plus or price
point issue (because

Hmmm...that works for me, I can switch between Outlook and Outlook Express.
Try this:

- Right-click the Quick Access Toolbar and click Customize Quick Access
Toolbar
- From the Choose Commands From list, select Commands Not In the Ribbon
- Locate Send For Review and add it to your QAT

Try using it instead of the Send to Mail Recipient - please let us know if
it works. :-)

So I was right about not holding our breath waiting for an apology.

From the Microsoft Office 2007 Home and Student page:

Are there license restrictions to Office Home and Student 2007?

Yes. Office Home and Student 2007 is licensed only for
noncommercial use by households. It cannot be used in commercial
(business) situations.

FYI - non-profit is considered a business.

OK so Milly is ignorant of the legal distinction between MEMBERS of
clubs providing materials to other members and EMPLOYEES of clubs
doing the same thing. She may also be ignorant of how Rotary clubs
operate.

Although I've been using Outlook Express Email for over a year, now that I've
added Office Home and Student 2007....I'm unable to Send a Word Document via
email. Please advise, thanks

I didn't mention that I tried Beth Melton's possible fix. Although the Send
to Mail Recipient icon is active & an email form appears, when I press "send
message" on email form, Word "crashes". I tried this method 3 times with the
same result. Has this fix worked for anyone?

I have a similar problem and I called support and got the issue fixed. But I
have now loaded the software into another pc as my license permits me to. The
problem has now occurred in this pc. I would have thought that students would
require the email option so that they can email work back into school or to
their tutor as I would wish to do!!!! I know wish I had written down the
steps that I had to work through when I last got this problem sorted.

Sorry to say but I think your reply is ridiculous especially considering you
are an MVP. I'm not in business and nor is rest of family. We are home users
wanting to send various documents like letters, material that I've created
for my Rotary club to aid a Aids orphans home initiative in Africa and other
personal stuff to others. I can't believe that MS took this feature out as it
was considered purely 'commercial'. Would very much appreciate a proper,
considered reply to my query about this problem from the Office 2007 Product
Manager if you can get hold of him/her please.

Home and student versions are for non-commercial use, e.g., you can't run a business with this software as that is not something a home user or student user would need. Ever wonder why the license for this version is so low and allows 3 installs? Now you know.

I had the exact same issue with Vista as my OS, Windows Mail and 2007 Student
Office.
I followed the thread until I found this one- it worked, wasn't complicated
and didn't ask me to do weird things I didn't understand
..
This fix worked.


1. Quit your Office programs, please click on the following link to download
the Messaging_registry.reg file to your desktop.

http://officetoolsdown.googlepages.c...g_registry.reg

2. Double click on this Messaging_registry.Reg file to import the registry.
When you are asked whether you want to import the registry, click Yes.

3. Start Office programs like Word/Excel to check whether the E-mail icon is
useable.


"That was easy"
