Word says there's no email program installed to email a document, but there's an app on Windows 8. Any help?

I have windows 8 on my laptop and love it so much.
I like using word, but sometimes don't want to have to save random files to email them.
I go to the save and send option in word, then click send as attachment. An error box appears:
'There is no program installed to send this blah blah blah. If there is already a program installed create a link in default programs'
HOW DO I GET TO DEFAULT PROGRAMS??!!!!!!!
I click OK and it says MAPI error. I saw that if you go onto 'fixmapi.exe' this is corrected, but that didn't help at all.
Plz someone help?
(the mail app works fine, but it would be so much easier to send straight from word)

as far as I know, for this scenario, an "app" is not suitable for this purpose, because word requires a "program", not an "app" for this function/feature.
I guess if you have Word, that means you have some kind of an Office installation in place, but, is it an edition of Office that doesn't include Outlook?
