Word XP as OL'03 Email Editor

[Evan McCutchen]

Is there a way to use Word XP as the Mail Editor for OL2003? We originally
had Office XP and upgraded to OL2003 when our new server came in (it came
with 5 installs of OL03).

The option "Use MS Office Word 2003 to edit email messages" is greyed out in
Options > Mail Format. Also, while we do have all spell-correct options
checked under the spelling tab, our spell-correct feature doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

Evan,
Are you sure you have a full install of both Word and Outlook? You may
try re-installing both as full installs, not custom or compact.

You can't use it. The only way to use Word as your e-mail editor is to
upgrade Word to 2003. Both Outlook, and Word, must be the same version.

Mike, yes I am using a full install of both Word and OL. I've tried a fresh
install with no success. Unfortunately, I think is correct in that Word and
Outlook have to be the same versions. Thanks to both of you for your input!
