Using Word 2002 as email editor for Outlook 2003

[Ian Williams]

I have upgraded my Excange clients to Outlook 2003 but am still using a
mixed Office environment. Outlook 2003 only seems to allow Word 2003 as the
editor so all my Office 2000/XP clients are now stuck.

Any ideas on how I can enable Outlook 2003 to use any version of Word?

Thanks in advance.

You can't. Versions must match.

Thanks for the quick reply. Is this a new Outlook 2003 "feature" as I've
done this OK with Outlook 2000.

Outlook 2000 could use Word 97. That was the last time a version mismatch
was permitted.

Outlook 2000 allowed using Word from either Office 97/98 or Office 2000.
Since then, the versions have to match.
