Dear all,

In my officeXP - outlookxp word as email editor.

Whenever I open a message and to say forward or reply, it
prompts " This form requires word as your email editor but
word is either busy or cannot be found. The form will be
opened in the outlook editor instead"
But my word program is working. I tried this HTML,Rich and
even plaintext but no luck.

pls help
 
I just installed XP Professional on my new HP notebook with XP Home. I have
the exact same problem. Is changing the registry the solution?? Thanks.

Dave,
I have the exact same problem, none of the support links listed apply or
work for me. I was wondering if you have ever resolved this problem?

I cannot verify this, but some report that in the most refractory of
cases, the following will work:
Get the Windows Installer Cleanup utility from Microsoft for your
version of Office. Then uninstall Word and run the installer cleanup
utility to remove anything that has Word in it and\or remove information
from any previous version of Microsoft Office. Reboot. Then re-install
Word. Reboot. Then go to Add\Remove and start to Remove Office but
instead Repair it. Reboot.
