Re: Code to switch from Outlook as editor to Word and back

The setting for WordMail is kept in the registry and only read by Outlook on startup. After that the setting and any changes are kept in a cached setting in Outlook. The registry setting is updated when the Outlook setting is changed but never read back except on startup. So any changes you make would not take effect until you exited and restarted Outlook.

I am not a programmer. I know how to create macros in Word (by recording) but
not Outlook.

I'm using Outlook 2003. The only time I want to use Word as my email editor
is when I need to create a hyperlink to a file using a simple browse.

I'd like to be able to quickly switch from Outlook as editor to Word, then
back. Has anyone seen any code to do this?

And if you send me the code, what do I do with it? I'm hoping all I'll have
to do is open the VB editor and paste it in. Then go to Customize and drag
the command to the toolbar.

Thanks in advance.
