ASSOCIATE Open Office with my EMail Program (Windstream Mail).
dummy guy here doesn't know HOW?
Hi. Let me try to help. Load Open Office Write[r]. Click on
Tools >> then Options >> then Internet >> Email. Now on the right
select your email program with the ... button. If the system
default email is not in the box you will have to navigate the ...
button to the directory and email program you want to use. Hope this helps.
In the OP case this will not work because he is using browser based
webmail (Windows Live Mail), not a "real" email client program.
As Alexandro pointed out "Save the file and then insert the saved
file as an attachment."
Sorry, but both these replies are confused.
1. Windows Live Mail, which the original questioner is in indeed
using, is not a web mail facility but is a PC mail client - the
successor to Outlook Express. So setting this as the default mail
facility does make sense.
2. Tools | Options... | Internet | Email does not exist in the
Windows version of OpenOffice (which the questioner must be using),
so nothing can be set there. Instead, OpenOffice simply inherits the
"default e-mail program" set in Windows itself. That is where the
user can change things.
(Oh, and Windstream is not his or her mail client, of course, but the
mail provider.)
