My daughter has the Professional version of MS Office 2003
installed and it works fine. But there is 1 exception:

Her office (where she works occasionally, mostly be tele-commuting)
installed the 2008 version of MSOutlook (only, not all the other
programs within MSOffice) and now when she wants to receive mail
from that office the Outlook 2007 (or is it 08) wants to be the
default. But how does she do that with Vista?

She can send and receive all her private mail fine with MSOutlook
2003.

Theres something not quite right here. Only a single version of
Outlook can be installed.

It is exactly as I told you before! The complete version of MSOffice
Pro 2003 was installed and ONLY the Outlook 2007 was installed
additionally.

Which means there are TWO versions of Outlook installed.
- The *complete* install of Office 2003 would include Outlook 2003.
- Then you/she/they installed Outlook 2007.
- That means there are TWO versions of Outlook on the same host.

As DL stated, only ONE instance of any version of Outlook can be
installed at a time. Your daughter will have to make a choice as to
which version of Outlook that she wants installed. If she chooses
Outlook 2007 then it won't match up with Word 2003, and the versions
must match between the Office components for integration to work.

"Her office (where she works occasionally, mostly be tele-commuting)
installed the 2008 version of MSOutlook". And what does that mean?
That her company installed Outlook 2007 on her work computer (and left
her laptop or home computer untouched)? Or that they installed Outlook
2007 on her laptop where Outlook 2003 was still installed?
