Outlook 2003 Using word as E-Mail editior

[David]

I have just installed a SBS 2003 and upgraded all clients
to outlook 2003 and am unable to use word 2002 to send E-
Mail,
Is this new feature? Is there any work around apart from
having to upgrade my entire office suite? Or would it be
easer to uninstall it and use outlook 2002

Not new at all. For years versions have always had to match.

Yah thanks for that tip,
I don't think I worded the question quite correctly, the
issue is if you try to send an new E-Mail using Outlook
2003 and you don't have word 2003 installed can you use
word 2002 as your E-Mail editor and not the default one
that Outlook provides

No. That's what I said. Outlook requires the Word version to match to use
WordMail. The last version that permitted a mismatch was Word 97.
