The provision of Outlook 2003 licences with each SBS 2003 CAL seemed a good way to standardise everyone's email while those 30% using Office 2000 and
40% Office 2002 could not afford to upgrade to office 2003.
But it seems incompatible if one wants to use WORD as the email editor.
Has anyone found a way to set Outlook 2003 to recognise Word 2002 as the
email editor. The feature is greyed out. If I can not find a solution
today I need to put back Outlook 2002. Fortunately there is a conversion
facility to change 2003 PST files back to 2002 PST files but it is still a
lot of trouble. I will not upgrade any more Office XP users to the SBS2003
Outlook client.
