...because Outlook will try to startup MS Word when you receive e-mails created by people that use MS Word as their "e-mail editor." Best I can tell (by looking at the Outlook's options you can not change the editor that Outlook will start up.

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. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
