Change Your Mail Program
When I select File, Send To, Mail Recipient in Word or Excel, the document opens in Outlook Express. How do I make it link to Outlook?
Todd Praneis, Rockton, Illinois
Your default e-mail client is determined by a Windows setting that also affects the program that opens when you click a 'mailto' link in a Web browser, among other e-mail-related options. To change this setting, open Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, Programs, choose your preferred program from the 'E-mail' pull-down menu, and click OK.
The menu options may seem Microsoft-centric: Your computer likely arrived with options for Hotmail, Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, and MSN Explorer. America Online, Eudora, Lotus Notes, Netscape Mail, and other installed third-party e-mail programs may or may not appear on this menu too.
