Microsoft Word as Outlook 2007 email editor

[wal]

From other posts and the Help file, I've learned that Word is the only
email editor available in Outlook 2007. That's fine.

But, can I change a setting so that whatever keyboard shortcuts,
autocorrect entries, etc., etc., I have in Word are automatically used
in Outlook 2007? Or do I have to reset each shortcut individually?

Thanks.
