MS WORD to edit emails - - - I keep losing it!

NoBite

I am running Outlook 2000 at work and have checked the option "Use Microsoft Word to edit emails." In conjunction with this I have created a custom signature with all sorts of pertinent business information. Recently, Outlook has been repeatedly losing MS Word as my editor! I'll start the program and be clicking right along. Then, after a few minutes, I'll select NEW to create a new message and I'll get an error box telling me that MS Word cannot be found or is busy and the only option I have is to open up a default mail editor. Of course, there goes my custom signature. After this happens, when I close down Outlook, it will not close down all the way unless I Cntrl-Alt-Delete the program. If I completely shut down and restart the computer, I can (temporarily) use MS Word as my editor until the entire process starts again. WTF

This is why I don't use Outlook at home. But, I am forced to do so at work. Anyone have an idea what is causing this and how I might circumvent this problem

TIA.
