Default outlook cannot find email editor

Yes I had. I found out by trial and error that after settting Word as the
default I had to close Outlook and reopen it. That made the change stick.
Go figure.

Thanks

Did you install Office XP? Outlook does not come with Word. You must install
the exact same version of Office with Word or Word to use as editor.

I just loaded Outlook 2002 SP3 on a new HP Pavilion. I had been using it on
a Dell without problems. Now I cannot get it to use Word as the editor. I
set it in Tools-Options-Mail Format, but then when I try to create a new
email or even forward/Reply, Outlook says it cannot locate Word and goes to
Rich Text. It says Word is busy or could not be found.
