How to use Word 2000 as e-mail editor in Outlook 2003

[Todd Fitzgerald]

Hello all,

With the purchase of SBS 2003 Server came the ClientApps
install of Outlook 2003. This upgraded all of the Outlook
2000's but now Word 2000 can't be used as the e-mail
editor. The spot is greyed out and says Word 2003 for
Editor.

This has cost us our ability to fax out of Outlook since
Word must be the editor for that function. Has anyone
else encountered this and found a fix?

Thanks,

Todd

There is no fix - Word and Outlook versions must match for automation to
work - it has always been this way.

Hi,

Choosing fax support in Outlook 2003 :
====================================

http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/2003/three/ch9/OutD02.htm#sub_4


Integrated fax support is not provided in Outlook 2003. However, you can
use third-party MAPI fax providers or Microsoft Windows® fax support.

WinFax — an earlier faxing program that was integrated with Outlook — is
uninstalled by Outlook 2003. If the viewer is currently on a user's
computer, it is uninstalled as part of the upgrade process.

Regards,
Venkat.
