Microsoft Word as email editor? WTF???

[Jeff]

Every time I click on an email link or click on New in Outlook to create an
email message, Microsoft Word starts and comes up as my email editor. I set
Outlook as my default, but it doesn't help! How can I stop Microsoft Word
from being my email editor? I hate it!

The following instructions Based on Outlook 2000:

Open Outlook
Select TOOLS from the menu
Select OPTIONS
Select the MAIL FORMAT tab
Turn off the check mark next to "Use Microsoft Word to
edit e-mail messages"

There is a programs tab in the Internet properties. There, you will find
email editor. Choose from the dropdown box. Good luck.

Ya, and I had it set to Microsoft Outlook, but it didn't help because
Outlook itself was set to open Microsoft Word under Tools, Options, Mail
Format.
