My Outlook Express works fine for sending and recieving e'mails... However, it will NOT allow me to forward something on my desktop ( say a Word file) to another persons e'mail.






Thanks!

Got it,

what i meant was, when i open a word doc on my laptop, across the top there's a " Send" e'mail option.


When i attempt this, as i've successfully done many times in the past, i get an error message.

I apologize Gerry,


I'm not literate on the computor.... this is gonna be like pulling teeth for you, again, please bare with me.



I use Hotmail to send/recieve.

Ah, OK.

Well, there 's the issue. Word uses the functionality of local, pop-based email programs like outlook and outlook express to achieve what you're after.

It is not possible to do this with word/hotmail

The message you are getting is telling you that a smtp (simple mail transport protocal) server is not configured in outlook or outlook express--which is expected since you do not use them

Hotmail cannot be setup to achieve this--there was a time when hotmail could be integrated into outlook and outlook express by Microsoft pulled the ability. They still offer it for premium customers (paid), but I cannot vouch for whether it will work without trying it.

Hmmm....

I hear what you're saying Gerry. It's confusinf that this all worked fine before i had some "issues" that i handled with Malware stuff that you guys helped me with. Weird.


I'm desperate Gerry...what should i do?



MS

[gerryf]

I do not understand how it could have worked....your saying you clicked on the send email button in word, and it opened in Internet Explorer to your hotmail account?

[MonsterDog]

Well..... it opened "something" that let me e'mail that doc to someone else.

There is NO QUESTION that i dont what the heck i'm doing so what else could have been opening up from the Word program?


I know this should be easy....sorry.
