How do I email from Word 97?

It seems that when I've been working with one program for some time, I have difficulty connecting to the Internet.

Today, I was using Word 97 to develop some text - took quite a while. Wanted to e-mail it for review.But if I click "Send to mail recipient" all else goes fine until the computer tries to connect to the Internet which produces error message about port connection and modem. However, if I copy message, shut down Word, Restart the Computer, I connect to the Internet with no problem, bring up Outlook Express, paste the text into the message and Send - no problem.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks Roger Brady
