PC Win: Send Mail Feature and Microsoft Word for Windows

ID: Q90403

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Mail for Windows, version 3.0

SUMMARY

Version 2.0 of Microsoft Word for Windows uses a SendMail macro to enable the Send Mail menu selection. This macro ships with version 3.0 of Microsoft Mail. You are given the option to install the macro only for Word versions 2.0 and 2.0a for Windows, not for version 2.0b. When you use Word for Windows with this macro installed, you will see the Send option on the File menu.

Word 2.0b for Windows has support for Simple MAPI built in (that is, a macro is not necessary), and displays the Send option on the File menu if the WIN.INI file contains the following setting:

[Mail]
MAPI=1
Unfortunately, Word 2.0b for Windows does not check for the existence of the old SendMail macro when it upgrades a version 2.0 installation, so if you installed your products in the following order, you may see duplicate Send menu options:
  1. Microsoft Word version 2.0 or 2.0a for Windows


  2. Microsoft Mail for Windows, version 3.0


  3. Microsoft Word version 2.0b for Windows


Although this duplication may be confusing, it will not cause any functionality problems.

If you are using Word 2.0b for Windows, you can eliminate the duplicate Send menu option selection by simply deleting the SendMail macro. To do this, choose Macro from the Tools menu, select SendMail, and then choose Delete.
