Hello all,

I have the new Windows 7 Home edition, and I'm trying to send email from
Microsoft Word, using windows live mail. When I try to send an email from
word I get the following message:

*logon failed. You must log on to Microsoft Exchange to access your address
book. Error code: "unspecified error".

When I close Microsoft word home and Student 2007, I get the following error
message:

*There is no email program associated to perform the requested action.
Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an
association in the Default Programs control panel.
I made Windows Live mail my default email program, and I still get the above
messages.
Please help me send emails from word on Windows Live Mail.

My Windows Live Mail works fine by itself.

The only way I can send a document created on word is by saving it and
sending from my saved files. I would like to be able to send a document
directly from the word program.

I tried the following link, but I don't have outlook, and I'm not sure how
I'm supposed to retreive data from Windows Live Mail. I guess I need to
import Data, but I'm not sure how?

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA101091621033.aspx#3

Please help me solve my complex problem.
Thanks,
Mike

I may be wrong, but I don't think you can use the "Send-to" function in Word
with Windows Live Mail as WLM is not fully MAPI compliant. Outlook is, and
Mozilla Thunderbird is.
And didn't you post this in another group to which I gave the same answer?

Hi Gordon,

Yes, I did post this on a differant forum. Do you know if Microsoft plans on
making word compatible with Windows Live Mail?

Thanks,

It is not a question of making Word compliant, it is a question of adding
simple MAPI support to WLM.

Word works just fine.

CAN you add MAPI support to an email client that doesn't have it?

Yes they have. You can't do Send-to in an Office document using WLM because
it's not fully MAPI compliant.
Where in that statement do you get stuck?

I thought you can re-write word somehow, according to Milly. Apparently you
can't. I'm not stuck, I just thought there was a way to make it MAPI
compliant.
Thanks,
Happy New Year!!

Then again, that's nothing new here.

I'm sure many people who come here for answers have no one else to ask.
I know I don't, yet I'd rather skim over page after page after page hoping
to find an answer than post a question. A bunch of you seem to really enjoy
power tripping by treating people looking for help with contempt. Yeah, we
get it. You are all Oh So Very IMPORTANT people who volunteer here. Don't
volunteer if you are going to treat people like crap.
It's a shame so many of you have turned this into a clique.

I've read this entire thread but still would like to know HOW to use send
email in Microsoft Word Home and Student 2007, NOT what you can't do. Running
Windows7 and have the same problem and don't know how to set associations for
email between programs, etc.
Bottom line--HOW DO i GET IT TO WORK?

Right.
You CANNOT use Windows Live Mail. It WON'T work.

You MUST use an email client that is has the full MAPI engine.
Microsoft Outlook will do this, as will Mozilla Thunderbird.

I'm afraid that is your ONLY option.

Install and use one of the alternate email programs Gordon's mentioned.

So after all that it looks like you have to use Thunderbird, an open source
programme in place of a Microsoft programme that most users of Home and
Student Word 2007 are directed towards i.e. windows live mail. I expect the
2010 version will have a word to mail link. shame about the present.

If you send three times from Word to Live Mail, it works on the third go (as
noted on several other sites). Why is that? It seems pretty obvious that,
this being the case, the fact it is not MAPI compliant cannot be the answer.
Maybe someone who actually knows what they are talking about could enlighten
us. Like Milly, I have no expertise in this area.

When Word 07 first came out, there was no link to Outlook Express. At
the same time Excel 07 linked up just fine. After about six months or
more MS finally fixed the Word-Outlook link.

Apparently, they are doing it again with Windows Live email. My
suggestion is that you wait a few months. My bet is that they will fix
it just like they did before. In the meantime do your best to work
around it by any simple means that works for you.

I agree with your comments regarding this ******* who really is more
trouble than he is worth and, certainly, not helpful. Calm down and
just know most of us really want to help because we are basically all in
the same boat....

Hello everyone, and forgive me.

I am not here to bash MS, or anyone's tech knowledge.
However, I WOULD like an answer as to why clicking SEND TO 3 times works
perfectly fine. As stated before, this is supposedly a MAPI problem, however
- if you can simply click it 3 times, the MAPI functions obviously work. Or
they were written so poorly, it's simply a tragedy.

I, like many others, have grown terribly disenchanted with MS for it's lack
of correcting problems they cause and not owning up to issues which others
have to provide "solutions" for.

Can someone at MS PLEASE simply come up with a simple patch to allow Windows
Live Mail (YOUR PROGRAM - which you force every Windows 7 person to
install/use - unless you truly WANT them to run for free/open source content)
work with the SEND TO function within WORD? It DOES work, after clicking 3
times... THIS IS NOT a missing MAPI issue. So let's cut the crap.

Or, should we all be thanking a very forward thinking programmer who likely
was told that such a "feature" was not going to be included in the Home &
Student edition because they want everyone to buy an Office version with
Outlook? Shame on that marketing genius! Whatever programmer had the balls
to leave a magical 3 times clicking work-around should be commended... and
unfortunately, has probably lost his job over leaving in a feature so helpful
to the rest of the world.

I don't want a reply from MS, I'm saddened that so may MS MVPs simply
overlook this and then blow smoke around about it instead of simply going
back to the project design team and saying - "Look guys - we made a BIG
mistake here - let's fix it, quickly, and cover ourselves."

It's this kind of oversight which CAUSES blunders like Windows ME, and
Windows Vista to hit the shelves... and tarnishing the once reputable
Microsoft name.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE write a simple patch for this and help the millions
of people who really WOULD continue to BUY MS products instead of migrating
to a MAC, Google Apps, or any Open Source/Free solution!

Sincerely,
Disgruntled Katt

PS... maybe they HAVE fixed this by now? If so... PLEASE let me know!

That is total RUBBISH. You are NOT "forced" to install and use Windows Live
Mail. You can download and install any one of a number of free email
clients. If you want one with full MAPI engine that will work with Home and
Student properly take a look at Mozilla Thunderbird.

I have the same problem as another person who posted. I didn't see an answer. I tried to email directly from a word document. I got an error message saying I have to use Microsoft exchange. Outlook no longer exists so I have to use Windows live. I have Windows 7 and the Office 2007 Student and Home edition. I hope someone can direct me on using this send feature. Sue
