Using Word 2007 in Outlook editor

[JGreg7]

Thank you very much for all of your help with this issue.

After spending a good portion of my Saturady copying each of my AutoText
entries into the NormalEmail.dotm per the instructions you posted for me, I
lost all of the changes. Apparently, you can not have Outlook open while you
make the changes. I saved the NormalEmail.dotm file only to have Outlook
over-write it when it closed.

Long story, however After spending about two weeks struggling with removed
features, differnt menus, and software limitations, I give up. I have gone
back to Office 2003, everything is working fine, just as it is supposed to.
As far as I am concerned, Office 2007 is a failed experiment.

I am hoping the next version returns the missing capabilities and they do
away with the new menu structure (or at least give you the optional menu view
e.g. "Classic View")

Yeah that happens. Always save a copy of a document whenever you work
with tricky things like startup macros.

Please consider beta testing Office 2010. The teams are actively
accepting feedback on that product and it's probably your best chance to
be heard.

I'd post a project on odesk to have someone write me a macro for this.
$50 would be a sufficient enticement for something this simple.
