Can we use Word 2003 for the email editor of Outlook 2007?

[Young Jun Hong]

Hello,

I couldn't install Word 2007 for the some compatiblity reason, and I need to
use Word 2003 until these issues are solved.
Does anyone know how to use Word 2003 for the email editor of Outlook 2007?

Thanks,

No. Outlook 2007 uses a special .dll to enable Word's abilities in Outlook so there is no option to use Word at all in Outlook 2007.

You cannot and there is no need to have Word installed in the first
place for Outlook 2007. The editor that is built-into Outlook 2007 is a
slimmed down version of Word 2007 packaged into a DLL that ships with
Outlook.
Is there anything you are missing in the Outlook 2007 email editor?
