Hello all,

I want to send a document from Word using the 'Send To' button. After I
press the 'To' button, a browser comes-up allowing me to select recipients.
However, the address book is blank. I have no recipients to select. When I
try to change address books (top right corner) I have no options.

How do I configure Word to use the address book from Outlook Express?

Thanks,
tim

When you click the Send To, do you get the header section like you do
when composing a new message in OE?

See the attachment.

If you are getting something different, then OE may not be your default
mail program. In that case, see:
OLEXP: "Send To" and E-mail Links Do Not Work with Outlook Express
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306098

Also, in Windows XP: Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Set Program
Access and Defaults, Email

If you are getting that, does the identity in the drop down box match
the one that you normally use? If not, click the drop down box ("Main
Identity Contacts" in the attached image) and try Shared Contacts). Or
in OE go to File, Identities, Manage Identifies and specify the identity
to use when a program can't ask.
