Outlook 2003. Is there a way to create a rule that tests for the absence of
words or phrases? For example, "move the email to x folder if the subject
does NOT include "word y".
 
Yes, you can construct a rule with no conditions, a move action, and an "except if subject contains word y" exception condition.

Thanks, Sue. I gave up too soon by not seeing a way to do it with the
Condition.
