My office is ready to put Open Office on our new computers when they
arrive but we need to know if Open Office can be used as the email editor
for Outlook? I appreciate your help with this question.

No. Not directly. Microsoft doesn't support the ISO (International Standards Organisation) document format used by OpenOffice. You could create your messages in OO, save it in Word format and import the result into Outlook. But that's hugely cumbersome.

But why would you want to be doing this? E-mail documents should be simple with hardly any formatting; certainly not enough to warrant using a full blown word processor.

If you are thinking about spell-checking, try Thunderbird (www.mozilla.com). It's a *free* e-mail program that can share its spell-checking dictionaries with OpenOffice.
