Can't use email with Word 2007

I am a new Word 2007 user. I purchased the student package, which means I do not have Outlook 2007. I noticed that I cannot email documents directly from Word as the email options are grayed out. Does anybody know if it is possible to use an alternative email client, such as Yahoo, to email documents directly from Word 2007?

It is jst because you dont have MS outlook in the syudent package & you cannot use yahoo or anyother email client for the same you want.you have to use your word documents as an attachment.

I think YouSendIt is such a utility which allows to send the files directly from MS Word. It is a Microsoft Office Add-in utility and works as an online service.

Download YourSendIt Microsoft Office Family Add-in
