Word will not save if Outlook is in use

I am using WORD and Outlook 2002.

If I use Outlook with the option "Word to edit email messages" -
then
If I open WORD and try to save a document - Word just shuts down.

If I then re-open WORD - on this second time - I can proceed to save
documents.

A very strange behviour. Anyone else come across this?

I am using the same configuration and version on other computers and there
are no such problems.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried reinstalling Office. Back up your emails, calendar, tasks etc
to a .pst file on you hard drive before you reinstall.

Reinstalling rarely achieves anything useful as it does not affect the user
files and registry entries etc that are at the root of most problems. See
