Outlook 2003 Hangs and opens instance of word

B

Bob Smedley

I'm a new user to Windows XP and Office 2003 (just came from the 2K world).
I use Outlook for POP3 mailboxes only - no exchange. Outlook 2003 seems to
hang quite a bit. Two questions:

What is the Outlook icon in the system tray for?

When Outlook hangs and I go to the Task Manager I invariable see an instance
of Word even though I have not started Word and Word is not my default
editor for Outlook.

Any fixes?
