Default Unable to select 'account.' Fatal error occurred in Outlook

A few days ago I began having problems with selecting an e-mail account when
creating a new message or trying to reply to a message from a different
account (I have 4 e-mail accounts.) I can receive mail fine, but when
replying it will only go from my default account.

When I open a new e-mail and try to select the account I want to send it
from, I get a pop-up error message that says: "Unable to complete the
operation. A fatal error has occurred in Outlook." The very top of the box
says "Microsoft Word."

This began happening not too long after I had an e-mail stuck in my Outbox.
I have done the following:
- Created a new profile (had to do this get the stuck e-mail out)
- Tried to repair Outlook using 'Detect and Repair' under the help menu.
- Tried to repair using the installation disk.
- Uninstalled Office 2003 and then reinstalled the entire thing.
- Deleted all my e-mail addresses from Outlook and then put them in as new
addresses again.

Help! I don't know what else to try!

Default Unable to select 'account.' Fatal error occurred in Outlook

Have you tried unchecking the option to use Word as your email editor? What
patch level is Office/Windows XP at?

Sorry....I'm not sure what a patch level is and I didn't uncheck the option
to use Word as my email editor. After tinkering with Outlook for hours, I
decided to delete all of my e-mail addresses, make a new profile, and then
put them back in again. Believe it or not, that did the trick!

Thanks for your response Milly!
