Word is starting when Outlook does

[Shawn Matlock]

I think something was changed when I upgraded to Windows XP. Now when
Outlook starts it starts Word. Word is my email editor but this is a little
annoying. When it's starting it fires off with the "run macros" dialog box.
Isn't there supposed to be a MSWord executable that starts on login and runs
as a background app?

Thank you,
Shawn

G'Day Shawn,

When (Office) Outlook starts Word as its Editor, it
usually starts a 'hidden' instance of Word - i.e. Word
runs WITHOUT its normal 'Window'.

However, if Word needs to communicate with the User
(You) then things change!!

What EXACTLY do you mean by 'the "run macros"
dialog box'??

If you mean that Word wants to know whether to
"enable" or "disable" macros - then YOU have set
up Word incorrectly!

Word is opening a 'Template' EITHER with an
'untrusted' Macro OR the Template is not in the
correct Folder.

Please be more precise about:
1) The Error
2) Templates that Word Opens......

.....and I'll try to be of more assistance!!
