Are Outlook 2003 and Word 2000 compatible for the mail/merge feat.

[Guest]

Since upgrading to Outlook 2003, when we attempt to use the mail/merge
feature of Word 2000, we now get an error message stating that the versions
are incompatible. Is there a work-around?
Or will we be forced to upgrade to Word 2003 in order to continue to use the
mail/merge feature from Outlook 2003?

Versions must match to use integrated features. That's always been the case.

You'll need to upgrade or keep an older version of outlook and word on one
computer to use for mail merges.

I have Outlook 2002 and Word 2000 and have been doing mail merges between
them with no problem - until this month. We have not installed new versions
of either one. The only thing I have done is download security
patches...could this be my problem?
