Windows Mail SEND button missing

**Antonio00** · 03-03-2009

I have problem with windows mail. I am using Windows Vista Ultimate and Office 2003. When i open Word 2003, choose FILE, SENDTO, Mail as attachment, after that comes new windows, where i can see attached document but no SEND button. Default mail program is Windows mail. I found that if i configure Microsoft Outlook 2007 for an account, then SEND button persists when i send mail through Word 2003. Is it possible to send emails as attachments from Word 2003 through Windows Mail?

I am not near my own PC at the moment so I cant verify this but I know in Outlook this can be fixed by renaming the file outcmd.dat to outcmd.old and restarting. Not sure if this is the case with Vista. I will get a chance to try shortly.

You have to make sure Windows Mail has all its defaults. Go to Default Programs, which you can reach either from the Start menu or the Control Panel, then click the first item: "Set your default programs."

After a few seconds a list of programs comes up. Click on Windows Mail. To the right you should then see "This program has all its defaults." If it has less than all of its defaults, fix it by selecting one of the two options indicated by green arrows.

It works for me when I tried it with Word 2007.

Now the SEND button has appeared again. Dont know what brought it back! I was doing some R&D in the settings and after starting now, I could get the Send option. Thanks for helping though.
