OK everyone, I talked with Lotus last week and guess what I they told me " it's a Microsoft problem " wow don't I feel special now. In any case the person at Lotus helping me has worked extensively on this problem. What she had me do is uninstall Windows Messaging ( I tried installing this to see if it would help), uninstall Lotus Notes and Word XP ( we only use word xp not office ). Now I had to install in this order. First, Outlook and Word XP and then Lotus Notes. Then I went into the mail icon in control panel and configured a third party application ( one of the settings ) and behold Lotus Notes was the option. Now I can do a send to from Word XP. Hope this helps. If anyone needs more info please let me know. -----Original Message----- From: Jan Rune Bjorkeng [mailto:janrune@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2002 5:57 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] SV: Lotus Notes R5 and MS office XP Join the team.. neither Rob or I have found the solution to this yet, but still hunting..

I am trying to get the "send to" function to work in Word XP. When I click on Send to the option is grayed out. When I change the program options in Internet Explorer from Notes to Outlook express the option is available again in Word. When I select Notes in Internet Explorer I am from Explorer able to click send link and it opens Notes like it should. But then again when I got to Word the option is grayed out. I really need help with this. Anyone have this working in their environments???? Ideas???? Let me know. Thanks, Jonathan
