The Hindu Business Line : Setting default mail client

I have installed Outlook Express and Microsoft Outlook in my system for e-mail. Of the two, I have made Microsoft Outlook my default e-mail. When I try to send e-mail from a word-merged document, the system asks for the e-mail configuration set-up. Please help to rectify the problem in such way that from a merged document I can directly send e-mail through Micosoft Outlook.

This problem may be due to the default mail client changing to Outlook Express. To set Outlook as your default program for e-mail, please follow these steps: Open Internet Explorer - Select Tools menu - Internet Options - Programs tab. make sure "Microsoft Office Outlook" or "Microsoft Outlook" is selected in E-mail drop-down list and click ok. Hope this solves your problem. For more information using Outlook Contacts with Mail Merge please refer http://wordprocessing.about.com/od/usingmailmerg1/l/blOutlookmerge.htm
