Pat,
OpenOffice wants a mail client, not an e-mail service. What you're describing 
is a web-based mail service.

You might have several web-based mail services. Just for purposes of 
demonstration, let's say you have a gmail account, a yahoo account, and your 
Xfinity account. It is possible for you to check all three accounts with a 
single mouse-click if you do the following:

Open Outlook or Outlook Express. If you don't have either of those, download Thunderbird and open 
it. Somewhere in the preferences for those programs--called "mail clients"--there will be 
a tab labeled "Accounts." Set up each of your accounts in your selected mail client. 
Let's say they're pa...@yahoo.com; pat...@gmail.com; and pa...@xfinity.com.

Once you have your accounts set up in your mail client, you can tell OpenOffice 
to use that mail client to send e-mail. Just set the association with, say, 
Outlook. Outlook should be set to send messages from one of these accounts by 
default; you'd likely choose pa...@xfinity.com as the default account.

Having done that, the next time you choose to e-mail a document you'll be given the 
choice of sending the native document (e.g., MyPaper.doc) or a PDF (e.g., MyPaper.PDF). 
In the latter case, the document will be converted to PDF and attached to a blank e-mail 
message. You can fill in the addressee and subject line, and add a message in the body. 
Then click the "send" button as you normally would.

Regards,
Jim Plante

I recently upgraded to Windows 8 Pro from Vista Home Premium. Every time I try 
to send a document from Open Office by e-mail, a drop down tells me that I have 
to establish an association with my mail program. I have tried Xfinity , which 
is my mail service at mail.comcast.net, Open Office on line help and Windows 
and have gotten no answer as how to do this. When I check my File Explorer and 
Programs, I find no program named Xfinity or Comcast mail.


Can you please help me out on this?
