Word cannot be used as email editor(2003)

[f57]

i am having the same problem now with OL2003.Word 2003. The only
suggestions i have gotten from various MVP's who have Outlook lists is to
not use word as my email editor.


I would like to try this solution, but am not sure how to do it.

1. How do i create a .bat file?
How di I add something to it?
How di I run it?
thnaks,

Found this solution that works:

Create a file named Register.bat, and then place the file in the
WindowsDirectory\System32\ folder on your computer.

Add the following line to the BAT file:
for %%v in ( *.dll ) do regsvr32 /s %%v

Run the BAT file.

On the question of creating a batch file:

Open Notepad.exe or any other text editor capable of creating pure
ASCII/ANSI files. Immediately Save the empty document by selecting File
Save and typing "Register.bat" omit the quotes, with a fully-qualified
DOS path. e.g. c:\Batch\Register.bat
will create the file in the Batch directory of C drive. The directory
must already exist.

Next, type your text into notepad.

for %%v in ( *.dll ) do regsvr32 /s %%v

Click on File Save.

Exit Notepad in the usual way.

Now, navigate to the newly-created file using My Computer or Windows
Explorer. Click on the file name to cause the file to execute.

This is offered as a way to do what you requested. I cannot give any
assurance that the result will accomplish what you want nor that the
result will not cause operational or other damage to your system. I
suggest that you create a restore point before trying it.

Since you have Word installed, it is a simple matter to turn Outlook
Express' spell checker on. (e.g. Thnaks is not an English word.)

thanks,
Are you familiar with any other fixes or information about this error that
might apply to 2003. The others I saw cited kb articles that dealt with
2000, 2002.

Try this posted by garfield-n-odie it storted mine out in minutes & it worked.

Close Outlook and Word. Locate your OLE32.DLL file. The default folder for
this file is C:\Windows\System32.

Click on Start | Run. In the "Open" box, type:

regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\ole32.dll

If necessary, replace "c:\windows\system32" with the actual path to the
ole32.dll file on your computer. You only have to run this command once (not
every time you start the computer). Exit. Reboot. Do you still get the
error message?

Thanks for the reply.
I tried it, and other than a total hang on shutdown and reboot, nothing was
changed. Same old error..sigh sigh.

Will keep looking for the solution. I may have to try playing with the
bat.file but i am not sure that I understood the directions well
enough...lol...i am a little dense about this stuff.
