I wouldn't be so sure. If Outlook 2007 is installed without Word 2007, it will still have the mini-Word .dll that it needs for the editor. I think this mixed configuration will work fine for creating and sending messages. What won't work is mail merge from Outlook and other deep Word integration features.

I've read in this discussion group that you can't use Word 2007 with
Outlook 2003, but has anyone successfully run Outlook 2007 with the

Excel 2003.

It won't work. Word and Outlook must be the same versions.
