I think that the issue may be one of Compatability between Word 2007 and
Outlook 2003.

Compatability may well be a problem, I know I can not use word as my email
editor but from reading other posts here I get the feeling that MS has
disabled the "Send to Email recipient" function in the 2007 Home and Student
program. The rational seems to be that that function is a "commercial"
function. I disagree with that logic because a lot of people just wont open
ANY email attachments so the need to send a document as an email is fully
justified, IMHO, for use in the Home & Student version. I hope that someone
can get through to MS and that they will activate the function in the H & S
version. (Well I can dream can't I? <grin>)

Try this:
Run your 2007 Home and Student edition CD and choose the option
to add specific components. Although there is no option to install Outlook,
you should have an option to install MAPI handlers. The MAPI handler
needs to be present before Word can "send to Email recipient".

If you set Outlook Express as the default mail program, you should then be
able to use it for the purpose.
