2007 Outlook and 2007 Word

[Robert Handel]

I have up graded to 2007 and have the following problem. I use word as my
editor in outlook email. When I type an email in outlook, the type continues
to move across the page. It does not end at the end of the page and proceed
to the next line. It just goes and goes. i have set up the format as HTML
text in both word and outlook. I have reloaded the program, and the problem
is still not fixed. i am stumped and need help
Thank you

Outlook 2007 does not use Word as the email editor in the same way that
earlier versions of Outlook did use Word if you selected that option. Your
problem therefore seems to be with Outlook so I have crossposted this to a
couple of Outlook newsgroups from where you may be more likely to receive
and answer.

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my
services on a paid consulting basis.

As Doug says, Outlook 2007 does not use Word as its email editor - though
its editor does mimic Word closely. Note that if you change the default font
in Word 2007, it is not reflected in Outlook 2007: you need to set the
default options again for Outlook.

It sounds like you need to go into the Outlook options and clear the wrap to
window option.

Robert:

Have you updated to the latest service pack and hotfixes for Office 2007?
FYI: In Outook 2007, Word is built-in and there's no option to disable Word
as the e-mail editor. Does the same issue occur with plain text e-mails?
