Jo:

You're confused???? I have no idea what your wrote!!

lol

Melody

this is where I got confused - Are we trying to figure out the problems with Outlook Express, or MS Word & Outlook?

Not Outlook. I believe I deleted that.

I only care about how to handle it when this pops up

Starting Microsoft Office Word 2003 as your email editor

After this little message comes up, the Word document comes up. I don't want the word document to come up. I just want my Verizon to be my default email thing.

I have no idea why Microsoft Office Word 2003 is my email editor. How do I get this TO NOT BE!!!!

How to Turn Word on or off as your e-mail editor or viewer

Applies to: Microsoft Office Outlook 2003

[ 1. From the main Microsoft Outlook window, on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Mail Format tab.
2. Select or clear the Use Microsoft Word to edit e-mail messages check box.]

You might also need to check the default program settings-

These both should stop the MS word email write option pop ups - but it won't make the Verizon email writing option appear instead.


The only way I can think of to send a form or site email using Verizon online web mail is to have the verizon email site open in one tab or window, and the form or other website open in another tab or window.
Then copy/paste the email address of the person/place/business over into the write or compose section of your Verizon, and send it that way.

Okay, we have liftoff!!!!!! lol

I went to Start, all programs, to Microsoft Office, then I found the Microsoft Outlook thing. I clicked on tools, options, and mail format. I unchecked the "Use microsoft word as the email editor"

I then went back to the place where I was having the pop up word thing everytime I clicked on someone's email.

Well, it no longer pops up with:

"Starting Microsoft Office Word 2003 as your email editor"

When I click on an email what pops up is a screen that has To: and underneath it has the cc: and then the place where you can write an email.

It also does not offer any SEND option. so what I think is happening is that when I click on any email on the internet this thing will the pop up. I will then write my message, and then copy it into my clipboard, and THEN I have to to to my Verizon Webmail, (and by then, I will have had to write down the email address because I can't copy it because I just copied the message).

Too confusing. All I wanted was that when I click on ANY email at any website, it would bring up Verizon. I guess for some reason I can't do that.

So from now on, when I want to contact someone (on a website), instead of clicking on their email address, I'll just highlight it, copy it to my clipboard, go to my Verizon and then send an email using Verizon.

I really don't know what else to do.

I was under the impression that because Verizon is my default email thing, that any time I am at ANY website, and they have the option

contact us: at . so and so @msn.com

that I could just click on that and write an email.

I gather this is not going to be the case.

Here's my question.

What happens when any of you are at a website and you click on their email address. What does it do?

Thanks much
