Outlook Close problem

[Pacole]

After updating office 2003 earlier, I now get a message from Visual Basic
when I close Outlook. The mesage reads, "Macros in this project are disabled.
Please refer to the online help or documentation of the host application to
determine how to enable macros". I find no documentation that helps. I'm not
even sure why I get a visual Basic error since I have no addins in
contacts??????? I can't be the only one to have had this problem.

Do you use Word as your e-mail editor? (Could be Adobe Acrobat [not reader,
the full program])

Other than that, check Tools > Options > Other tab > Advanced Options button

AddIn Manager and COM AddIns. Outlook doesn't ship with any 'visible' COM

Addins and 5 Addins (Delegate Access, Deleted Item Recover, Exchange
Extesions (2), and Server Scripting). Some of these addins do not apply to
POP3/IMAP accounts.

Last but not least, if it really is a macro. Outlook stores macros in a
file named vbaproject.otm. Location is at \documents and
settings\<userid>\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook. (You can rename this
file while Outlook is closed.)

I am not sure what other choice there is other than Word, but yes Word is
checked. Also, there are no addins.

Unchecking Word 2003 as editor did the trick! I am not sure why as it must
have been the editor before the updates. What is the significants of using
Word?

It turns out the culprit is a Winfax template (wfwrd2k2.dot). I still don't
know why it didn't bother before the update. Outlook uses Word as an editor
and the template is in Word!

as far as i know, there is no version of WinFax that is compatible with
Outlook 2003. Heck, you can't even get updates for from Symantec since they
discontinued the product.

as for the question about what bennies does one get from using Word as the
e-mail editor. More control over message composition and if @ Office 2003
SP3, the auto-correct feature still works.

other than that, if you need/use Winfax, then don't use Word as your e-mail
editor. If you don't use WinFax, ditch it.
