e mailing Word documents

Until a few months ago I was able to e mail a Word document directly from Word. I just went into 'file' then 'send to' then 'mail recipient as attachment' and then my Outlook Express e mail address book came up and I could send it directly. Now when I do this it seems, for some unknown reason, that Word wants to use Microsoft Outlook as the e mail programme. It brings up an Outlook address book - which I don't use. So i just type in the e mail address, press send - and then the e mail with the document attachment just goes to the Outlook outbox and there it sits...going nowhere! I only discovered this by chance the other day when I found three e mails sitting there that I thought I had sent. Anybody any idea how I can reconfigure Word to make it send Word attachments through Outlook Express rather than Microsoft Outlook ...I would be very grateful. I know I can go into Outlook Express and send things that way...but I would prefer to send them straight from Word.

Go into Outlook Express
Click Tools/Options
On the General tab near the bottom you will see a section "Default Messaging Programs"
You will probably see that it says "This application is NOT the default Mail handler"
Click the button "Make Default"
Click OK
