Switched to using Windows Live Mail as default e-mail applicaton on my
Windows Vista 64bit operating system & Microsoft Office Home Edition. Now
can not email open Windows Word 2007 document because Send To Mail Recipient
feature only sends by Windows Mail feature which is not the default email
program.

Is there a way to setup Word to allow an open document to be emailed through
my Windows Live Mail account or can I setup an account in Windows Mail using
my hotmail email account? I do not have another email account that I use
other than Hotmail to send and recieve emails.

Would like not to have to save document then open Windows Live Mail, attach
document, then send. Working right out of the open Word 2007 document to
send email makes more sense.

Thank you for your help.

It may make more sense to you, but I don't think it will work unless you
have Outlook installed. Outlook's install includes a so-called MAPI handler
which Word needs in order to send a document via the default mail client.

I am experiencing the very same issue that you speak of. I am running
Windows 7, Office 2007 Professional, and have IMAP account setup within
Windows Live Mail.

I have made the registry change as follows, rebooted and still no luck.
I can get it to work by either emailing as .pdf or changing the default
file format but it is inconsistent. Seems like once you get it to work
it will continue but as soon as you exit the program and open a new then
you are right back with the errors. I am trying to figure out is this
an issue within Office or Windows Live Mail. Did you ever find a
solution?

1. Click on Start All Programs Accessories Run Type regedit
2. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Software Client Click on Mail
3. Check what appears in the right pane. It should read as below:
(Default) REG_SZ Windows Live Mail
4. If Windows Live Mail does not appear, right click on (Default) and
click on Modify and in the Value Data box, type
Windows Live Mail
Note: If you don’t find the Mail item, right click on Client and Click
New Key and rename the key to:
Mail
Once the Mail key is created, right click on Mail New String Value.
Name the value as:
(Default)
Right click on (Default) and Click Modify. In the Value Data box type
Windows Live Mail
