In Outlook 2003, when I reply to a message, the reply message goes into
normal view with a columm of the words "Plain Text" on the left side of the
reply message.

How can turn off the columm of the words "Plain Text" in normal view when I
reply to a message?

"Word 2003 to edit email message and Word 2003" and "Word 2003 to read Text
email message" is check on.

it sounds like you have the option enabled to view styles in use. can you
make the column wider and narrower by dragging the center line?

I'm not sure how to disable it other than it's a word option... or switch
to print layout.
