Hi all,

I have installed several flavours of Office 2003 on quite a fe
machines. It is either Word alone, or Office Standard or Pro. In eac
case, Outlook is not present, only Outlook Express is.

The problem is that on none of these machines, the "Sent to a
Attachment" is present. Only the regular "Send to" is, in which cas
the document is not sent as attachment but as the message body...

Oulook Express IS the default software for mail (both in OE/Options..
and in IE/Options).

In addition, the win.ini file is correct (crazy by the way that Window
XP still uses this...., anyway:confused: )

So here I am, stuck in this. I'm rolling out Office 2003 to about 20
users, and now I have had to instruct the first 20 users to go t
Explorer and right-click the saved file and choose Send to... which i
surely not the best.

Any idea!

Thanks in advance...:

Hi There!

So I finally figured out what I had to do to make it work!

The following keys have to be added to the registry (open a text file
type the header relevant to your Windows version and then the followin
text):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Messaging Subsystem]
"MAPI"="1"
"OLEMessaging"="1"
"MAPIXVER"="1.0.0.1"
"MAPIX"="1"
"CMCDLLNAME32"="mapi32.dll"
"CMCDLLNAME"="mapi.dll"
"CMC"="1"

Then, it works! No need for the WIN.INI file mentionned in other post
that Windows should not have to read anyway, and that Word 2003 doe
not read!

Too bad MS did not include that in the standard setup. It took me a da
to figure it out!!!
