A macro I've created in WORD2007 doesn't work in OUTLOOK2007

A simple macro (just reverses characters when I incorrectly type them.. e.g.
acb becomes abc) created in WORD 2007 doesn't run in OUTLOOK 2007 - doesn't
seem to be a "record macro" in OUTLOOK 2007 (nor any references to macros in
OUTLOOK ribbon bars etc)

Had no trouble when I used WORD 2003, etc...

Cheers

That's because Outlook 2003 used the FULL version of Word 2003 as the email
editor - Outlook 2007 only uses a STUB of Word 2007 as the email editor, so
not all Word functions are there.
 
The same occurs with me:
I lost several macros I created and used in Outlook/Word 2003 system, when
I "upgraded" to Office 2007.

I'm not a specialist in VBA language and found the conversion of macros,
suggested below, complicated.

Is there another easier way to do it, or should I go back to Office 2003?
