mikem, I hope that someone else takes a look at this, too. I use Publisher occasionally, but I think that this has more to do with how your Outlook is configured. You might want to take a look at this Help tip and see if it helps you. Good luck, and I sure hope that this doesn't cause more problems than help. I use Netscape e-mail, so I always have the reverse situation: I always get Outlook opening up if I click on File -Send to, so I don't send document from e-mail that way.

**You could also just open up your Outlook first and address your e-mail and include the Publisher doc as an ATTACHMENT. That might be the easiest of all.

If the File menu in your Office program does not contain Mail Recipient on the Send To submenu, you might not have Microsoft Outlook 2000 or Microsoft Outlook Express 5.0 configured as your default e-mail program. You can set Outlook 2000 or Outlook Express 5.0 as your default e-mail program in Windows Control Panel. Click the Start menu, click Settings, and then click Control Panel. Double-click Internet. On the Programs tab, in the E-mail list, click Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express
