help with outlook 2002 and word as email editor

G

Gene Murphy

Hi all, have been using outlook 2002 for some time on my main desktop, and
word as my email editor for I cant spell worth a damn and word just corrects
everything, lol. But when trying to set up my new Toshiba Satellite A75
running outlook 2002 even though i select use Microsoft word as your email
editor, ever time i try to reply to a message i get a error message that
says <This form requires Word as your email editor, but word is either busy
or cannot be found..The form will be opened in Outlook editor instead.>

Now the obvious first question i must answer myself and this group if i
expect help is?, am i currently have installed Microsoft Word <yes> is it
the same version as Outlook 2002 <yes Microsoft Word is 2002> does Microsoft
Word 2002 work as a run alone application <yes> is Microsoft Word running or
open <no> not even if you go into the task manager it is not running...so ?
what am i doing wrong, i have ran detect and repair on both Microsoft
Outlook 2002 and Word 2002, both are fine, but i cannot configure outlook to
let me use word as the default email editor, i think there is something
simple, (like me lol) that i am just forgetting to do since the last time i
set up word as my editor in outlook 2002? like do you click ok then apply or
apply and then ok, for ever time i check the box for word to be my editor ,
when i go to the mail format tab again it is not checked.

Any help will be greatly appreciated for this old grumpy old retired
marine...shit without signs to point us to the "head" we would be lost

Respectfully
