OL2000: "Microsoft Word as E-mail Editor" Option Unavailable (196335)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q196335 SYMPTOMS
When designing a form in Microsoft Outlook, the option to "Always use
Microsoft Word as the e-mail editor" is unavailable or dimmed. This option
is located on the Properties tab and is only available when the new form is
based on a Message or Post note. It is unavailable if the form is based on
any of the other Outlook modules, such as an Appointment, Task, Task
Request, Contact, or Journal item.
CAUSE
Significant editing features, such as those that are available with Word,
are not usually necessary in items other than the Message or Post notes.
For example, when entering a contact using the contact form, almost all of
the information is entered into fields (name, address, telephone numbers,
and so on). Therefore, there is no need to have Word as the e-mail editor
in contact forms. Checking this option sets Word as the editor for the
"message" part of the form. Because the Message and Post notes are the
built-in forms that would most often benefit from the additional features
of Word, the option is available only to those forms.
