John, What kind of computer are you using and what is the operating system and version (e.g., Windows 10, Windows 7)?
Apache OpenOffice is looking to see if you have an email application installed on your machine as the default for composing and sending emails. It is not finding one. AOO does not compose emails itself. Instead it will open an email form in your desktop email client (if there is one), with the attachment already included. This only works if you are using a desktop application to do email. If you are using a web browser to write emails, Apache OpenOffice has no way to find that and to start a message with an attachment. You might *have* a desktop application that could be used to send mail via your gmail account, for example. But you'll need to set it up. Let us know the situation and we'll see how to assist you. - Dennis > -----Original Message----- > From: John MC GINLEY [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Saturday, January 23, 2016 10:56 > To: [email protected] > Subject: attachments > > I am trying to attach documents to my email account and Open Office > keeps > saying that I don't have an account set up and do so in my email > settings. > But, no matter what I have tried, I am unable to do so.
