Outlook 2003/Word Editor Issue

[PL]

Hello,
I have installed Ms office professional edition 2003. Means both word and
outlook are same versions.
Uptill last week my outlook worked perfectly fine as an Word editor for
composing or replying email.
Since last week suddenly I got this error msgs that Outlook
"Ms Word is set to be your e-mail editor. However, Word is unavailable,not
installed , or is not the same version as outlook. The Outlook e-mail editor
will be used instead."

I have tried everything. Uninstalling office and re-installing from Fresh.
Installing and updating. I have tried to replyir complete office 2003.

Please advise If I am missing something. I have to use outlook 2003 as word
email editor.

Will apprecaite your response at (e-mail address removed)
thanks
Puneet

Have you run detect and repair from the Outlook and/or Word help menu?

Yes I did. It did not work. I also tried system restore and still no solution.

I have exactly the same problem. Up until about a week ago. I have done
everything in article 906307 with no luck. If you find out something let me
know.

After I sent the message, I went back & dug a little deeper. The answer and
the cure is:
Click Start>Run and enter
regsvr32 ole32.dll

Works like a charm.

I am having the same problem. It seems to have started on either 04/16 or
04/17 after downloading and installing Microsoft updates. I have tried all
of the suggestions in this thread to no avail.

When I go into System Info, it tells me that I have Word Application
Failures beginning on one of the dates above.

I really need to get this resolved as it keeps locking up my computer and
closing out programs due to these errors and changing my email editor. Here
are the versions/builds of Outlook 2003 (11.8010.6568 - SP2) and Word 2003
(11.6568.6568 - SP2) and using Office Professional Edition 2003.

Please help!!!

Thanks,
