Mail merge: Outlook/Word compatibility problem

[Aaron]

Hello,

Our office has recently upgraded to Outlook 2003, but
we're still using Office 2002 for the rest of the
applications. Now, when I try to do a Mail Merge I get
the following error:

"To use this feature, you must install the version of
Microsoft Word that matches the installed version of
Microsoft Office Outlook."

So, Outlook 2003 and Word 2002 are not compatible?! Am I
going to have to roll back to Outlook 2002, or is there a
patch, or any other ideas? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

The error message is correct. Believe it. Versions of office software have
always had to match to retain integration.
