using word 2007 as email form in outlook 2002

[BillC]

I can't get outlook 2002 to use my new word 2007 as the default email form.
I was using word 95 and my outlook used it. I tried to tell outlook to use
word 2007 but it keeps trying to configure word 2007 but I end up right back
at the html format.

what give here?

Outlook doesn't know where to find word (it's no longer in /office/ but
/office12/), but I don't think it will work if you do a custom install of
word into the office directory.

Outlook and Word have always had to be the same version AFAIK. That's why
you can't.

Actually, I recall that Outlook 2000 was able to use Word from either Office
97 or Office 2000.

You may be right - it's many years since I used Outlook 2000, and then as
part of Office 2000 anyway.....

Thanks Fellows - I am giving up. I might just go back to my Word 95. I am
use to it and it stores files as doc. I feel that when I put Word 2007 in
doc compatability mode it runs slower anyway!
