Hello ,

I have purchased outlook 2003 but not the other office products becuase
office 2000 still works fine . After installing outlook 2003 i can not use
office 2000 word as my default body editor any suggestions or tweaks would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

there is no method to enable word 2000 as the editor for e-mail. (you would
need word 2003)

Sorry ,

But this answer kind of upsets me , why should I have to purchase all MS
products to use the interactivity with previous versions. I actuall have
office xp , not 2000 I only purchased the New outlook to limit the amount of
spam recieved. An email client should have no bearing on the other products.
After installing outlook 2003 my mail merges do not work , there is no
interactivity with office xp. Please Microsoft stop forcing me to buy all
your products this is not fair business. And frankly I can not afford you
as a dependent any longer. But as Microsoft know's they will succeed becuase
I have no choice to buy the other products.
