Default Word is not linked to email

I am getting a message in Outlook that Word is not linked to my email.
Does anyone know what this signifies, or how to fix it? I've reinstalled
office, and that helps for a while, but whenever I run updates or anything,
it reverts.

What is the exact text of the error and what version of Outlook and Word are
you using?

Therein lies your problem. The versions of Outlook and Word MUST be the
same. They must match. The integration between the components works if
the components are coded to work with each other. That means they need
to be the same version. If Outlook 2003 was a component of MS Office
2003 then install all of Office 2003 so you also get Word 2003.

The the next time it happens, note the exact text and post it.

You do know, don't you, that if the versions of Outlook and Word do not
match, that you cannot use Word as your mail editor or use any of the
integration features, like mail merge that make Office so useful?
