Re: Global setting to prevent Winword as outlook editor

I'm using Office XP Professional. I also have a machine running 2003
professional and I downloaded the Office resource kit. There are no
ADM files in it. I installed the outlook security tools, and there's
only an OFT template for security. Am I missing something there?

If I get the XP ORK will the adm be there?

Thanks for the reply.
