I get this error message when I reply:

Microsoft Word is set to be your e-mail editor. However, Word is
unavailable, not installed, or is not the same version as Outlook. The
Outlook e-mail editor will be used instead

I have restarted, repaired, and reinstalled. Also, the box is checked in
tools/options. The only thing left is uninstall, is this going to be
necessary?

Thanks in advance if anyone can answer this.

I went ahead and did an uninstall and reinstall and that fixed it. It was
painless; all my personal info was there after reinstallation. I don't
understand why the repair function didn't work because all the installation
files are on my harddrive.
