Windows XP SP-2 has broken this in Outlook using Word as the editor. It is a
part of the upgraded security options. Microsoft is aware of the problem
and is working on a fix, if possible.

After furious head scratching, Donnelly asked:
| Dear Brian,
| Beaucoup thanks for your response - the link was really
| helpful - I'm almost there - just 2 tiny problems that
| I'm hoping you can help me solve.
|
| I followed instructions for setting MS Word as my e-mail
| editor. But it is just NOT taking. Note: I did
| download/install a few days ago the MS Outlook 2002 SP3.
|
| And, I did download (last week) to Outlook
|
www.SmileyCentral.com to add smilies to my emails.
|
| I'm not really sure when I stopped getting the 'Word is
| your e-mail editor' but it was recently. The SP3 and/or
| Smiley may/may not have anything to do with my problem.
|
| So, I can't set Word as my e-mail editor.
|
| Re: the link you provided, I have gotten successfully to
| the 'small pane press the Sound icon' BUT when I press
| the icon I get the following message (and, I do have
| Outlook email set for HTML):
|
| "This object was created in HTMLInlineSoundCtl.
| This application is not available to open this object.
| Make sure the application is properly installed and that
| it has not been deleted, moved, or renamed."
|
| So, would be grateful if you have any advice (other than
| to toss the laptop out the window).
| Many thanks.
