Word 2k Won't "Send to" Eudora

Eudora (5.2, registered) is my email program, on a Win XP sistem w/ Office 2000. Generally, "send to" in applications lets me quickly send a copy of a file via email through Eudora. However, in Word 2000 when I click
*file
*send to
*mailrecipient (as attachment)
I get a "Choose Profile" window, giving me a choice of
Microsoft Outlook Internet, or
Corel 8 Settings (I also have Corel 8 on my computer)

If I instead click "New" (thinking I could tell it to include Eudora), I end up at the
"Windows Messaging Setup Wizard", and I can't get that to recognize Eudora. I only have the choice of "Manually configure information services". *Next takes me to a window to name the setting, then (no matter what I call it) *next takes me to:
"The following unrecoverable error has occurred:
The DLL file for this service is either damaged or could not be found.
To exit click finish."

Somehow I have the feeling that Microsoft Exchange, which I had to install to use some app., is trying to take over my computer.

Any recommendation about how to get Word to let me send directly to Eudora. I'm just being stubborn, I suppose, since the workaround is not that tough (open Eudora, then attach the document).

Sounds like your system doesn't believe Eudora is the default mailer on your system. To reset this, within Eudora, select Tools->Options->Extra Warnings, and add a check mark next to "Start Eudora and it's not the default mailer". Click OK, close and restart Eudora. If it was not the default mailer, then a box will pop up asking you to make it, and click Yes or OK. This should reset the registry settings and allow other applications (such as Word) to directly "Send To" Eudora. Good luck!
