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.

Pro 2003 was installed and ONLY the Outlook 2007 was installed

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?

Outlook 2007 will not & cannot be installed if Outlook 2003 exists
(I exclude dual boot & Virtual PC)

She was visiting here from Boston until yesterday and I saw both. That is,
MSOffice 2003 and MSOutlook 2007 on her laptop. So, apparently it can
happen.

My question was to her (and she did not know the answer) WHY they did not
install the whole MSOffice 2007?

No it cannot, having Office 2003 installed doesnt mean Outlook 2003 is
installed.
Outlook 2007 will not install if Outlook 2003 exists, its a physical
impossibility

MS Office is a suite of components, one of which is Outlook *IF*
installed.

Outlook is just one component of Office or can be obtained separately.

Having MS Office 2007 installed does NOT mean that it included Outlook
2007. They may have installed Office 2007 but omitted Outlook and kept
the old Outlook 2003 that was there before.

You can pick which components to include in an install of MS Office, so
you can choose to NOT install Outlook in that suite.
