I use Outlook Express for email and it is set up as my default email handler (in OE default messaging programs and in Internet Explorer programs).  However, when merging to email Word sends merged emails to Outlook where they get stuck as I don't use Outlook for email.  The only option it gives me is to set up an Outlook profile but I don't want to do that as I want the emails to go to Outlook Express.  How can I get Word to recognise OE as my default email handler?  (was OK on previous machine but have just switched to Windows XP, using Word 97 and OE 6)

I don't think you can natively. But to make sure ask in an Outlook Express
forum. This is an Microsoft Office Outlook forum.

Outlook Express is family of Internet Explorer and Outlook of the Office
family.

Here is the link for the right forum

Good Luck!

Word only integrates with Outlook. It has never integrated with OE.
