Word 2007 Send as attachment/Email grayed out

[Ron Carr]

A friend's version of Word 2007 (I just installed for her) cannot Send a
document as an attachment: the Email option is grayed out.
She uses Outlook Express, and it is set to the proper In and Out (SMTP)
settings for Comcast. We can attache the same document as an Outlook Express
attach.
Any ideas? Did I not set some option?

I don't know if that option only works for Outlook.
You might want to ask in a Word or Outlook Express newsgroup instead. This
newsgroup is for Microsoft Office Outlook.

It should work if outlook is installed and OE is set as the default mail
handler (it did when I tested it) - so it may need outlook installed or it
could be one of the features missing if word is installed standalone.
