Word 2007 and email

[Lil]

I installed Home and Student 2007. No problems. However, when I tried to
email from Word, the Email portion was greyed out. Fax was fine. I am
using Windows Mail as my email. I do not have Outlook, nor do I have access
to the Outlook program. What are my options here. Need some direction. I
know that I can copy and paste, and I can attach in my email. I really would
like to email directly from Word, or Excel, or PP.
Thanks

Thanks Doug, but here is the problem.
Method 1
All the boxes I have are
Default Web Browser
Manage Add Ons
HTML editing
Internet Programs
No where can I find an Email box
Method 2
Not that comfortable changing my Registry
Method 3
I am aware that I can use the attachment in WinMail.

Any other ideas for me.
Thanks

Others have reported success with Method 2. I know that the warning sounds
a bit dire, but if you follow the instructions (it is best to print out the
article so that you can refer to it easily), you should be OK.

Doug, I did it. I did a System Restore Point, Backed up the Registry,
crossed my fingers and plunged right in. It Worked!!!
Thanks for you support and help.
