Security Question with Word as e-mail editor

[Guest]

When I use Word as my e-mail editor, I get the following warning box
everytime I compose, forward, or reply to, an e-mail:

"A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook.
Do you want to allow this?" There are three buttons "Yes", "No" and "Help",
along with a checkbox to allow access for a period of time up to 10 minutes.

This only happens when using Word as the editor. If I reply "No", it still
allows me to compose or reply; I'm just trying to get rid of this warning
box. I am using Outlook 2002 and Word 2002. Any suggestions?

Stop your antivirus from scanning Outgoing Mail. It really slows things up
and is unnecessary.

More than likely, you have Adobe Acrobat installed, along with the add-in it installs for Office. See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2003sp2.htm#problems.

You have a Word add-in like Adobe Acrobat that does not conform to the
Outlook Object Model Guard. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/sec.htm
