When I open Outlook, a blank version of Word opens (no toolbars) and
when I get rid of this, Outlook opens but has no toolbars. You can
get the Outlook toolbars back by minimising and maximising the window.
Of course, if you stop Word being the Outlook editor, the problem goes
away. But I have used Outlook with Word as the editor for months
without a problem. It is unclear to me why this problem has arisen.
I reformatted my hdd and reloaded OS (XP Pro) and Office (XP) to get
rid of it. It worked for a while but the problem returned for no
apparent reason. When it returned there were no Office updates
installed so they were not the problem; they were not the solution
either because installing them didn't help. XP updates are installed
but there is no obvious timing link between this and the Outlook/Word
problem reoccurring.
The Word hijacking occurs whether you open Outlook from IE6 or
independently from the Start menu.
There must be a solution other than turning off Word as the Outlook
editor. Grateful to know if anyone knows what it is.
Thanks.
