Did you set up an email program? Windows 7 doesn't come with an email program preinstalled.

I'm sorry. I asked about your email program only because you didn't mention one in your original post. I can't answer your question about Word 2007 because I don't use any Microsoft Office programs. I'm using Open Office .org. When I click on email in the O.O. writer program it calls up a New Message window from Windows live Mail and attaches itself to that.

I'm sorry I bothered you without being able to help you. :redface:

Why sent emails by word?
It is more easier to send it by attaching the word file as an attachment, isn't?:redface:
