Outlook using Word

[John]

I was hoping you could direct me to an article that might
help me correct a Win XP problem. I just purchased a new
laptop and have transistioned over to it all my Office
programs and I have a issue with Outlook that even though
I have checked the box setting Word as my email editor
when I open a new email message I get the dialog box
stating that "Word is either busy or cannot be found". I
even get that message if Word is open at the time. I
have tried repairing the the installation without
success. Any suggestions?

Are Outlook & Word both the same versions (2000, XP, 2003)?
