Hi,

Are there any advantages in using Word as the editor for messages over doing
it in Outlook itself?

Thanks for any inputs.

Ramesh

Depends on your version of OL

you'll have all the spelling and editing functions of Word if you use word
as your editor. As long as you use Outlook 2002 or later, the responsiveness
should be good - word was not recommended as the editor in outlook 97 and
not real good with outlook 2000 but each version since is well worth using.
In Outlook 2007, you need an office suite installed to have the full editing
capability of Word.

you can enable and disable word as the editor very easily, so you can test
it on your system. If you used Office XP or 2003, I'd tell you to try word
as the editor for 2 weeks, but with 2000, its really dependant on your
system and needs.

Thanks again Diane.

I ve only been using Outlook editor. Just that I wanted to know if I am
missing out on anything by not using Word. Like using tables and formatting
ease.
