Word as Outlook 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 don't show any macros running in Word that might cause this. I am
using Outlook 2002 and Word 2002. Any suggestions?

In general, you can't get rid of it. See:

Herb -

Thanks for the reply. The link you gave me sent me to a MS Office 2007 Beta
site. I did not see any information there regarding my security issue. Did
I miss something?

Very strange. That link takes me to an article entitled:

How Outlook helps protect you from viruses, spam, and phishing

I wonder if it might be a caching problem with your browser.

But, the upshot is... no, you can't get rid of it.

To clarify, Herb. The link goes to the default page you get if you try to
access an article written for Word/Office 2007 and don't have it installed.
I get the same thing; the article begins:

How did you get here?
You have arrived at this page because you selected an item that is available
only if you have a 2007 Microsoft Office suite or other 2007 Microsoft
Office System program installed.

To read and work with premium content provided specifically for the 2007
Beta release — including all training courses and some templates, clip art,
and more — you need to upgrade to a new 2007 Microsoft Office System
product.

Did you arrive here by mistake?
If you have installed the 2007 release then you have arrived at this page
because your installation of the 2007 release was not detected by the
Microsoft Office Online Web site. Your installation of the 2007 release
might not have been detected for several reasons.
