How do I set up Word 2007 as my email editor for Outlook 2003?

[lanapiana]

I recently upgraded from Word 2003 to 2007 but Outlook didn't come in the
Microsoft Office suite that I purchased. When I loaded the new Word it
removed itself as my email editor from Outlook 2003 and won't allow me to use
it now. How do I set up Outlook 2003 to use Word 2007 as my email editor?

You cannot. Outlook 2003 can only use Word 2003 as it's editor, Word 2007
will not work. Word 2007 is no longer available as an editor for Outlook
2007 either; Outlook 2007 now comes with it's own version of WinWord. In
general all versions of Outlook require the same version of Word (Outlook
98/Word 98, Outlook 2000/Word 2000, Outlook XP/Word XP, etc.)
