Error: Outlook 2003 won't allow mail merge when using Word 2000?

[StepOne]

Error in Outlook says Outlook is incompatable with installed version of
Microsoft Word (I have Word 2000 and Outlook 2003) ... for the purpose of
mail merging contact lists.

Correct. Outlook and Office versions have always had to match for automation functions to work. Not an error.

So, is my only option to go out and purchase word 2003, so that the funtions
work between the two programs?

Or go back to using Outlook 2000.
