Okay got that done. . .
so with the following, do steps a,b,c then on step D, put 2,3,4 for
CMCDLLNAME, CMC, MAPIXVER, and OLEMessaging?
CMCDLLNAME32=mapi32.dll
CMCDLLNAME=mapi.dll
CMC=1
MAPIX=1
MAPIXVER=1.0.0.1
OLEMessaging=1
:
Yes, select the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Messaging Subsystem
Then, to insert the MAPIX value (for example)
a. Right-click and slect New|String value. A new REG_SZ value is
created
with name "New Value #1"
b. You should be able to overtype the name with MAPIX (unless you
have
already created that value
c. Double-click the MAPIX value. A dialog box appears
d. type the value you need, in this case 1, and click OK.
e. You should see a line under "Windows Messaging Subsystem" with
something
like
MAPIX REG_SZ 1
If you are uncertain because you have done all that and the merge to
e-mail
options are still greyed out, then something else is probably wrong
(and
in
that case, I do not know what it might be).

I'm sorry I'm asking all these questions. I just want to make sure
I'm
doing
it right. I need to put these under windows messaging subsysten,
right?
MAPI=1
CMCDLLNAME32=mapi32.dll
CMCDLLNAME=mapi.dll
CMC=1
MAPIX=1
MAPIXVER=1.0.0.1
OLEMessaging=1
I have windows xp
:
What name?
I mean the names and values as in step (b):
MAPI=1
CMCDLLNAME32=mapi32.dll
CMCDLLNAME=mapi.dll
CMC=1
MAPIX=1
MAPIXVER=1.0.0.1
OLEMessaging=1
i.e. the first name is MAPI, and the value is 1
the second name is CMCDLLNAME32 and the value is mapi32.dll
etc.
Which version of Windows are you using?
Peter Jamieson
I just tried again and now it's letting me do it. I am the
administrator
so
I don't know what was going on Friday. before I proceed I want
to
describe
what I have in these files. In the windows messaging subsystem
folder,
on
the right-hand side of the window, there are (default) REG_5Z
(value
not
set)
and InstallCmd REG_5Z rundll32 setupap,Install-in/Section MSMAIL
132
msmail.inf
Back on the left-hand side of the window, under the windows
messaging
subsystem there is a MSMapiApps. If I click on that, on the
right-hand
side
of the window it has (default) REG_5Z (value not set),
choosusr.dll
REG_5Z,
inetsw95.exe REG_5Z, and MAP1 REG_5Z
Your directions say (I'm on letter G and H in your directions) to
name
as
above . What name? and what value?
:
I just checked again here and it seems OK, so...
....it is possible that you do not have permission to update
this
particular
part of the regiistry, e.g. if you are not logged in with
Administrator
permissions. That would be quite likely if your machine is on a
network
and
maintained by someone else - in that case you would need to
contact
them
and
ask them to sort this out for you.
Peter Jamieson
i'm following your steps but when I click new string, it says
cannot
create
value. error writing to the registry..
:
Yes, for Word 2003 I believe it's the registry you need to
fix
rather
than
WIN.INI.
It may be easier to import the necessary values into the
registry -
there's
now a page at
http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk/t0002.htm
which covers the existing ground and provides the contents of
a
suitable
..reg file for copying/pasting into a Notepad file.
Peter Jamieson
Peter Jamieson knows more about this, so maybe he will chip
in?
However
from one of his earlier posts -
You will need to edit the registry. Proceed with caution!
In your Windows folder, locate and run regedit.exe. If
you're
on
an
older
version of Windows you might need to use regedt32.exe.
Look for a key called
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Messaging
Subsystem
I would be surprised if it was not there in recent versions
of
Windows,
but if it is not, add it.
If it is there, I would expect to see
a. A subkey called MSMapiApps
b. A number of "values" with the same names as are in the
above
list -
MAPI, MAPIX etc.
c. An additional value called InstallCmd
If you cannot see the values, you need to add them. For
each
of
the
values in the above list
d. Right click "Windows Messaging Subsystem" and select
New|String
Value.
Note that although some of these items have numeric values,
they
should
all
be entered as String Values.
e. Enter the name, as above
f. Double click on the name. A dialog box appears. Enter
the
value
(e.g.
for the name CMCDLLNAME, enter mapi.dll) and click OK
g. You may also need to create the InstallCmd value,
although
I
rather
doubt it. I am less sure about this and about what should
go
in
there.
On
my system, the value is:
rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection MSMAIL 132 msmail.inf
When you have done them all, press F5. Then close all
copies
of
Word
and
restart it - or restart Windows, then restart Word and see
if
the
e-mail
option has appeared.

I modified the file but it still doesn't give email as a

:
First, make sure that the e-mail program you want to use
is
set
up
to be the default e-mail program (e.g. via Internet
Explorer
Tools
. Internet Options > Programs.
Find the WIN.INI file in your Windows folder (typically
c:\WINDOWS),
make a backup copy of it, and open it in Notepad.
Ensure that the following text is in there, and add it if
not
[Mail]
MAPI=1
CMCDLLNAME32=mapi32.dll
CMCDLLNAME=mapi.dll
CMC=1
MAPIX=1
MAPIXVER=1.0.0.1
OLEMessaging=1
You will need to close all copies of Word before this
change
has a
chance of taking effect. It is probably safest to restart
Windows
to
be completely sure.
If that isn't enough, you may need to edit the registry;
however
see
how you get on with the above first.
