Default mail application for Word, Powerpoint, Excel

I'm switching from Entourage to Mail, and want to change my default to so that when I want to send a document from the application (Word, Powerpoint, Excel) it automatically selects Mail as the email application instead of Entourage.
How do I do that?

Hi. I have done this, and am receiving email fine. However, when I select "send to" and then "mail recipient" (as Attachment) from the File drop down menu in Word, Powerpoint or Excel, the Entourage application automatically opens, as does a new Entourage email. I want a new Mail email to automatically open instead. I had this set up a couple of years ago, but don't remember what I changed to do it. I've looked at every preference in both Mail and Entourage and can't find a preference setting for "default sending" (or something similar.)
Thoughts?

Office 2013 Home & Business Edition - None of the application (Word, Powerpoint, Excel or Outlook) is opening, not even in safe mode..

Office 2013 Home & Business Edition - None of the application (Word, Powerpoint, Excel or Outlook) is opening, not even in safe mode.. I tried to run the application in compatibility mode by right clicking the excel.exe and choosing the compatibility
mode, still no success. It is installed on Windows 7 Professional SP1. All the latest updates are already installed. I have also tried Microsoft fixit, but still no Success. Please help!!

I'm so sorry that I forgot the Office programs even not open in safe mode and provide useless information in my last reply.
The problem persists when we perform a Windows clean boot, right?
Were the Office programs suddenly not working? Or it just can’t be open after you install it? Did you get any error message?
If you haven’t try a repair of your Office installation, we can try it to check the result:

In addition, try to use Event Viewer to see if we can get some useful error log about this problem. See:

Office 2008 - problems opening up Word, Powerpoint, Excel

I've upgraded from Leopard to SL. Now I can't open Word, Powerpoint or Excel (2008). It just hangs. Is there a fix or workaround - I do need to be able to get into these applications quickly otherwise I'll need to de-install and go back to Leopard (which will make upgrading a waste of money).

Hi Naz,
Anytime you perform an upgrade from one OS to another, check your 3rd party software applications first to see if there are any updates necessary to download and instal; ie., Snow Leopard. Go to the Microsoft site and look for PP support for Mac. There are several other posts here with the same issue.
There is an article here re: Office 2008 - Snow Leopard and a Spaces issue.
http://www.macrumors.com/2009/08/28/microsoft-declares-office-2008-ready-for-sno w-leopard-most-spaces-issues-fixed/
One thing you can try is deleting the associated PP preference file.
Not sure of the exact wording but try this. com.powerpoint.plist
Might be com.microsoft.powerpoint.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag the file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac. See if you can launch PP now.
Same routine for Word and Excel preference files.

How can I set Yahoo mail as my default mail application on Mac Mail?

I am trying to make Yahoo Mail (free version, not Yahoo mail Plus!) my default mail application. This would allow me to cick on any link sending e-mails and it will launch the yahoo mail application to send mail from there, obviously. For this to happen I need to open Mac "Mail > Preferences >" and choose "Default email reader" under the "General". I then choose the email application of my choice (Yahoo in my case). "GMail Notifier" for Google fans.
I am not able to find a Yahoo application mail in my application folder or on the Internet, and frankly speaking, Yahoo mail support absolutely suck, and getting a hold of them is nearly impossible! There is a free applet out there called "Yahoomailer" that might do the job, but either I am installing it wrong since when I download and click on it nothing happens, or it does not work properly on my machine. So, I am turning to the community to get some help with this issue. All I need is to know if there is a Yahoo mail app out there that can be installed on MAC and shows up on my Mail > Preferences > Default email reader.
Thank you,
I am using MAC OS X 10.8.2

My tools menu does not show "options" as a choice - any idea why? Thanks

How to use "Mail Merge for Word" to include only Account fields?

We're attempting to use the Mail Merge for Word template to create a document containing several fields from the Account object. We do not need any fields from the Contact object, and there are many contacts linked to each account.
When choosing "Get On Demand Data > Accounts", removing all the [Contacts] fields, selecting the necessary [Accounts] fields, then clicking "OK", a "List Download in Progress" window appears, followed by one that says "Microsoft Word - Subscript out of range". None of the [Accounts] fields are available in the downloaded data.
Can anyone tell me how to include the appropriate Account fields without any Contact fields (which pulls a separate Merge record for every Contact linked with the selected Account)?
Thanks.

Thanks for trying to help with this.
So far, we've been unable to pull even a SINGLE account record. So the problem is not related to data volume limitations. The tool seems to require that Contacts are selected, but for this application we only want a single merge document per Account.
If anyone else has had success using the Mail Merge for Word tool to pull only Account data, please give us your guidance. Thanks.

How to Get Outlook 2010 RDA or OWA as the Default Mail handler for Windows 7

I use remote desktop apps which is my primary method of using Outlook 2010. however I use many applications in Windows 7 that I need to be able to send email from. Logic tells me the Default Mail application MIME needs to be mapped. However I do not show

Is there a way to fix this?

Make Entourage default mail program for composing?

Hey folks. I'm trying to get Entourage to be teh default mail program for composing mail as well as reading mail. I already set it to be default for reading mail from the Mail program, bt when I click a "send to" someone type link, Mail keeps popping up. How do I change that? Thanks.

DrSupachicken,
In Mail Preferences you can set your default mail reader to the preferred application. Which one is curently set as your default? I don't have Entourage installed so I Mail (3.5) is the only option. In your case you should be able to select either Entourage or Mail. Let me know if that helps.

About to update to Snow Leopard from Leopard, however, I was told that I will lose access to Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Powerpoint, Excel, etc.).

About to update to Snow Leopard from Leopard, however, I was told that I will lose access to Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Powerpoint, Excel, etc.). First, is this true? Second, how have others addressed this lost (i.e. other software programs)? The cheaper the software package the better with FREE being the ideal.

If you install Snow Leopard, make sure during the install to open the Optional install items. You must turn Rosetta on, which is not installed by default (necessary to run older PowerPC apps such as Office 2004). If you miss the installation of Rosetta, it can still be installed after the fact a couple of ways.

Mail Merge for Word - Limitations?

I have been searching for information on the Mail Merge for Word in the help files and tutorials. I am trying to verify the limitations, such as
Can Lotus Notes be used to send the email? (I am 90% sure we have to use Outlook, however I would like to clarify)
How many emails can you send?
Are there any other limitations I should be aware of?

I have confirmed on the Lotus Notes question.
I installed the Mail Merge for Word Template on a machine that only had Lotus Notes as an email client. When I choose to send an email, it gave only the option to "Merge to Document".
So The answer would be that Outlook is required to send emails with Mail Merge for Word.

Open default mail application and attach the shortcut to it

Hi All ,
I have one requirement in which we need to open default mail application from SAP then create a new memo in it and attach the shortcut of one transaction in that new memo.
Can anybody please help me in the same ?

Gee, I don't know: "paste attachments mail Lion"? ;-)
One further question, if I may: in Panther (which is where I've aggregated nearly 7 years of mail), if you copy more than one file in the Finder, switch to Mail, and paste the files into a new message, only the file names paste in. If you copy one file and paste it into a Mail message, you get the file, not just the name. Is that still true, or has that (IMHO) bug been fixed since 10.3.9?

Set Default Opening Application for a certain type of file?

I need some help saving time! I have lots of .groovy files that my apple doesn't know how to open and i have to select a default opening application for every single file! Is there a way to do this for multiple files or for a certain file type? thanks!
amber

Sure. Click on a file, and then go to File-Get Info (or CMD-I) In the box that pops open, choose the app you want the .groovy files to open with, and click change all. That should do it.

HT1444 If i download the new OS X Mountain Lion to my Macbook Pro that has Snow Leopard, will i lose my apps and downloads (such as: Microsoft word, powerpoint, excel, oovoo, skype) and will i lose all of my pictures/documents and information?

If i download the new OS X Mountain Lion to my Macbook Pro that has Snow Leopard, will i lose my apps and downloads (such as: Microsoft word, powerpoint, excel, oovoo, skype) and will i lose all of my pictures/documents and information?

I should just change the OS and leave all your apps and data alone. That said, if any of your apps are old and use Rosetta (ppc apps), they won't run under Mountain Lion.
Make sure you take a good Time Machine or Clone backup before you convert.
You can check compatibility of your apps here:
