Word opens over top whenever I start Outlook (2003)

L

I will endeavour to explain accurately what occurs.

Description:
I have three places where I can start Outlook 2003. When I right click and
select properties they each offer different information:
1. The one that is on my Start Menu offers "Mail Setup - Outlook" window
with options
2. The one my task bar offers "Launch Microsoft Office Outlook Properties"
with typical short cut information including "Target: "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE" /recycle". This window has
three tabs "General" "Shortcut" and "Compatibility"
3. The short cut in All Programs offers a short cut window with "General"
and "Shortcut" tabs.

When I select any one of these Outlook seems to start as normal. A split
second after this Word opens in full screen mode over the top of Outlook.
When it opens it does not do so in a normal fashion. There are no menu
items. There is not "white" work place to start entering text. It is just
a grey screen. There
IS a Microsoft Word title on the top (with minimise, windows, and exit
options on the right). I can also see the typical bar acros the bottom
(inc. Page Sec At Ln Col REC TRK EXT OVer) but they are greyed out.

Thank you for still addressing yourself to my problem.

Tom
