Why don't you just post the text of the reg file here, Eugene? I'm sure
other people would be interested, too.

Hi There


I Had the same challenge and resolved it with a registry entry. It
works great and Outlook 2003 believes that Word 2002 is its default
mail editor and uses Word 2002 to read rtf mail so that your web links
work.

give me a shout if you want me to mail you the the contents of the 2
keys and you can then create your own reg keys. I will send it to you
in notepad.

Hi,

I have a client who has Office XP (2002) installed. We upgraded his
Outlook
to 2003 (from the Exchange server CDs). Now he cannot use Word 2002 as
his
e-mail editor.
Under Mail Format, the check boxes for using Word as your e-mail editor
are
greyed out, because they say "using Word 2003".

Can you still use Word 2002 as your e-mail editor in Outlook 2003? And
if
so, how can you turn it on?

Thanks a bunch.

Bart
