I have gone through multiple messages regarding the use of
Outlook 2003 and the remaining components of Office XP,
but I am unable to get a clear cut answer regarding their
compatibility, recommended installation flow etc.
I am using an authoring systems which requires Word Xp and
Powerpoint XP, however I'd like to be able to use Outlook
2003 (the authoring system does not require a specific
Outlook version!).
My questions are:
(i) Can I install Office XP without the Outlook component
(i.e., Word, Powerpoint etc.), and following that install
just the Outlook component from the Office 2003 suite?
(ii) What limitation and problems can I expect?

Is there anyone doing this and working successfully?
Thanks,
Joe

I believe that would be the proper installation sequence.

You will *not* be able to use Word as an editor in Outlook, you will
not be able to do *anything* that would require the interaction of
Outlook & Word, AFAIK. Both versions must match for compatibility.
