Tuesday, June 22, 2010 11:27 AM Reply | Quote Answers 0 Sign in to vote Hi, I suggest you delete the normal.dot file as you could have a corrupted one that is causing issues with Outlook 2003. To do this follow these steps: Close all instances of Office applications As normal.dot is a hidden system file it may not show when you search for it without unhiding hidden files and folders, to unhide folders and files click My Computer > Tools > Folder Options > click the View Tab and put a check where it says "Show hidden files and folders" and untick "Hide extensions for known file types" and "Hide protected operating system files", then apply or OK. The click Start > Search and search for normal.dot, once found rename if multiple copies of them to normal.old then reboot, you don't need to in really but well work recreating the new normal.dot file this way.

Word as the email editor. Over the last few days I have been receiving the following message: "MS Word cannot be used as the email editor because Word is unavailable, not installed or not the same version as Outlook. The Outlook email editor will be used instead." How can I set Word as my email editor again? If I then go into Tool, Options I find that the tick in the box confirming Word should be used as an email editor has been removed. If I re-tick, and try again, I receive the same problem. I have run a Detect & Repair in both Outlook and Word and this does not solve the problem from occuring.

You can do this by pressing CTRL+ALT+ESC and select the Processes tab. Once you've checked this, you can start Word with the /a switch. This is more or less the Safe Mode function of Word. Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8Start-> type; winword.exe /a Windows XPStart-> Run-> type; winword.exe /a (Note https://www.msoutlook.info/question/68 the space in the command above.) After Word has launched without any issues, you can close it again. If Word doesn't successfully start, you'll have to further troubleshoot Word first. Now start Outlook again, verify that Word is set as the E-mail Editor, and begin a new email. In most cases this will have resolved your issue.
