word as email editor -- defaults out

[Bob M]

I'm really getting sick of the dialog box: "Word is set as your email
editor. However, Word is unavailable, not installed, or is not the same
version as Outlook..."

It IS available. It IS installed. It IS the same version. I've gone
through the various threads from others and tried to see how others have
fixed it. I've tried the fixes and they haven't worked.

No, I'm not a complete moron (well, the jury is still out on that). I have
checked the appropriate box in email options. Checked. Rechecked.
Re-rechecked. Seemingly randomly it defaults back to the Outlook email
editor. I have also started and restarted Word and Outlook. I have gone
into Task Manager and ended the process of Outlook.

Hi,

Enable Word as email editor in Outlook. Close Outlook.
Try running the following commandsTry running the following commands.
Go to Start> Run> regsvr32 ole32.dll
Click OK.

Restart Outlook and make sure Word is selected as email editor and try again
closing and launching the application.

Thanks,

Nope. Didn't work. I've tried that repeatedly and sometimes it works and
other times it does not. This is not the solution, but I appreciate your
help.
