Question

Sending open MicroSoft documents from Windows Live mail-How?

Nov 8, 2011 1:18AM PST

I have Windows 7 Premium, Serv pack 1 Operating System. Windows Live 2009 mail. Microsoft Office 2007.

I use to be able to send a document I had created in a Microsoft Office program directly thru Outlook Express. The document was open and I would click on the FILE tab, then the SEND E-MAIL and then I'd have the opportunity to either send as an attachment or directly in the e-mail as part of it.

How do I make Microsoft Office documents choose Windows Live mail and open it and send the document directly? I want to send an e-mail "brocure" type document I created directly to my customers without making them open an attachement which many may not have the correct program to open it any way?

HELP PLEASE!!??

I feel there must be a way which to make this happen and if there is not then where would I find a program that I can send out list of real estate I have available for sale to friends and clients?

I also own a fishing charter company and would like to send out updates and fishing pics.

I want to make a Windows Live mail be recognized as the default e-mailing program from Microsoft Office programs to send documents.

I can't create a nice large flyer / brochure that can be a template for continual minor updates to it's inventory, price changes, updates.

HELP PLEASE.

Thx Todd
