Sending document as an attachment

I have often sent documents as attachments to emails from
within Word by clicking on File, Send To, Mail Recipient.  
This would open Outlook Express and Create Mail, with the
document there as an attachment.
I recently tried to send a document in this same way, but
now instead of opening Outlook Express, it wants me to use
Outlook and wants me to set a profile.  I do not use
Outlook for my email and cannot figure out how to set up a
profile.  I really would like to go back to the way it
used to be when Word would send my documents using Outlook
Express.  Can anyone tell me how to do this?  Thank you.

There are several questions about this in the newsgroup
but no answers. I use Netscape mail and just installed
the newest Office version. It doesn't ask for an email to
be set up and I can't find anywhere to tell it to use
Netscape either. The "send as email attachment" is grayed
out. Did you (anyone) figure this out?

Hi JR,

Make sure that in Outlook Express under Tools>Options>General, Outlook
Express is set as the default mail handler.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested.  Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.
Hope this helps
