Help!

I use word as an editor for MS Outlook. Generally everything works fine,
but...

Ever since I upgraded from OL 2000 to OL XP (2002), when I send a document
as an attachment to an email - from within the document application (i.e.:
choosing "Send to Mail Recipient as an attachment" from the file menu in
MSWord, or MSExcel, or other MS products) the default Outlook editor opens
up, not the MSWord EMail editor. In the older version of OL, once Word was
set as the editor, it worked for everything.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to get around this? Thanks for any
advice.

Versions of Word & Outlook must match in order to work together. In
other words, you need to upgrade to Word 2002.

Nice try, but this isn't the answer.

I found that this behavior started when I upgraded to the complete Office XP
suite - all products from the same version.

Now that I'm using the complete office 2003 suite - I get the same
behavior - it's not due to version mis-matches.

It's something else.

Thanks for trying.
