Word and Outlook 2003 Problem

[SidPrice]

Hello,

I have been using Word as my email editor for Outlook (2003) for some
time with no problems. However, recently when I click to write a new
email a window appears that looks like Word, but without any toolbars
or other controls. I assume that Word should be running in background
to allow me to use it as my editor and not appear on the desktop or
task bar.

Any suggestions as to why this is happening, I really want to continue
with Word as my email editor but this full screen Word "skeleton" is
kind of annoying.

Thanks,
Sid.
