auto correct in only some Office 2003 apps?

Office 2003 on XP
Is it possible to use auto correct codes in Word, but not in Outlook or Excel?
We have extensive auto correct codes built for Word, but they are a hassle
in Outlook or other Office apps. Is it possible to turn them off in one app
without affecting the others?

If you use Word for the Outlook 2003 message editor, your auto correct
entries should work.

The auto correct codes 'work' that is the problem. We do NOT want them in
Outlook, but to allow them in Word.
Can I turn auto correct off when the user is in Outlook, but have Word use
them?

Only if you disable Word as the message editor in Outlook.
