Compose the email like you want to and then press the Close button. It will
ask to save your changes/draft and it will end up in the Drafts folder.
Outlook 2007 will allow you to do that as well but there is no need to use
Word as the email editor for this since Outlook 2007 has a new email editor
and only a single one instead of 2.
