Outlook 2007 and normal.dot

[Legal Learning]

It is my understanding the Outlook 2007 no longer uses Word as it's email
editor. Does this mean that we won't have issues with normal.dot being
"tied" up with Outlook? If so, all I can say is YES!

Outlook actually does use Word as editor by default. If you don't have Word
installed, it still uses a "stub" form of Word as editor that is integrated
into Outlook.

Does this mean that normal.dot is still in the background?

According to Sue Mosher, it does NOT use normal.dotx.
The template that Outlook uses for mail is NormalEmail.dotx not Normal.dotx.
she said that you can open it and edit it directly in Word but I have not
tried to do that yet..

Yes, only it's now normal.dotx, I believe.

outlook has its own template now.

The template that Outlook uses for mail is NormalEmail.dotx not
Normal.dotx.
How can i change setting so that outlook use Normal.dotx instead of
NormalEmail.dotx for composing new mail

I don't believe that's configurable. Unless Outlook creates the template
every time (I haven't checked), you could configure Normal.dotx and
overwrite NormailEmail.dotx.

You can't. Why do you want to?

The addin is working fine in word 2007 but i m not able to make it work for outlook 2007
