I have microsoft word 97 and cannot send an email of a document to someone. It says MAPI failure...unsuspecting error. I really don't know how to make a mail client so that I can send a document. Is microsoft 97 that outdated now. I use windows live mail as my email client on sending documents that need to be sent out. Please help in any way that you can. I've also download openoffice trying to send out a document but that doesn't work either.

Is Windows Live Mail (WLM) set as your default Email Client?
Control Panel | Internet Options, Programs tab, Email drop down.
Do you also have Outlook 97 installed? If not, you probably can't use that feature with WLM. Even with Outlook 97 installed, it may only work if you use Outlook 97 as your default mail client.
You may need to have WLM running first as well.

Or find a different mail client that does support MAPI. Eudora does, and from what I read so does Thunderbird.

You can always save the document, then attach it to your email from within WLM.
