Word is always the email editor in Outlook 2007; there is no other option. Whether it's Word with its full capabilities or Word with a more limited set depends on whether Word and Outlook were installed from the same Office 2007 package.

I would suggest that since you have a new topic, you post it in a newsgroup specifically for general Outlook programming issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba or, via web interface, at http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm....program_v ba or perhaps, even better, in a Word programming forum since it's the Word developers who are likely to be up on the nuances of what Outlook 2007's use of Word adds to the situation.

Another question. Under Outlook 2003 we didn't used Word as E-Mail editior.
In Outlook 2007 you can't configure this option any more, because it has is
an own editor. But if you have Word installed on the machine it looks like
that word is used as editor.

We have an application (CRM) that automatically creates documents filled
with address and so on over DDE. This works find as long as Outlook 2007 is
closed. But if Outlook 2007 is opened we get DDE-Errors.

Do you know any regkey or option where I can change this behavior?
