How do I correct the following error message?

[Guest]

In Microsoft Outlook - Microsoft Word is set to be your e-mail editor.
however, Word is unavailable, not installed, or is not the same version as
Outlook. The Outlook e-mail editor will be used instead. An OLE regristration
error occurred. The program is not correctly installed. Run Setup again for
the program.

Russ, Outlook and Word are the same version 2003. Everything was working as
it should and then, I got this error message
