Outlook 2003 & Office 2007 Beta 2

[Guest]

Have Office 2003 installed and added the Beta recently, but kept Outlook
2003. Outlook 2003 and now it will not allow me to use word as my email
editor (even though use word 2003 as the editor is checked) and I get an
error about it Word not being installed or the wrong version.

Any ideas on how to fix this? I tried Outlook 2007, but don't want to rely
on a beta version. Want to keep Word 2007 though.

(Windows XP, fully updated, running Office 2003 as well as Office Beta 2007
with the exception of Outlook).

You can't have more than one version of Outlook installed. Installing OL
2007 removes OL 2003.

The Outlook and Word versions must match in order to use Word with Outlook.

Thanks for your response...I do understand that they need to match - I have
both Word 2003 and Word 2007 on the machine along with Outlook 2003. The
problem is that Outlook 2003 doesn't recognize that Word 2003 is there.

Within the same operating system instance, there's no way you can have both
installed.
