Method 2: Verify the registry settings

Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

1.	Close all programs.
2.	Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
3.	Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Messaging Subsystem
4.	Locate the following registry values. Typically, these values are listed in the Windows Messaging Subsystem key. Name Type Data MAPI REG_SZ 1 CMC REG_SZ 1 CMCDLLNAME REG_SZ Mapi.dll CMCDLLNAME32 REG_SZ Mapi32.dll MAPIX REG_SZ 1 MAPIXVER REG_SZ 1.0.0.1 OLEMessaging REG_SZ 1
5.	If any of these registry values are missing, follow these steps to add the values: a. Click the Windows Messaging Subsystem subkey, point to New on the Edit menu, and then click String Value. b. Type the name of the missing value, and then press ENTER. c. Click the new value, and then click Modify on the Edit menu. d. In the Edit String dialog box, type the correct value for the missing string value in the Value data box. e. Repeat steps 6a - 6d for each value that is missing from the table that is in step 4.

Typically, Excel 2007, PowerPoint 2007, and Word 2007 display the correct e-mail options automatically when the required registry keys are present. If these programs do not display the e-mail options after you use the methods described here, add the e-mail options to these programs. To do this, follow these steps:

1.	On the File menu, click Program Name Options.
2.	Click Customization, and then click All commands in the Commands list.
3.	Click the command that you want, and then click Add to add the command to the Quick Access toolbar. For example, click Send for Review, and then click Add to add the Send for Review command to the toolbar.
4.	Click OK.

Versions of Microsoft Office that are earlier than Microsoft Office 2003 use both the registry and the Win.ini file for MAPI information. Office 2003 and later versions of Office use only the registry for MAPI information.
