Using Word as Email Editor

I just upgraded from Office Professional 2000 to Office XP Professional. I
am running Windows XP Professional.

Is it a good idea to use Word as email editor, or does it tend to create
more problems than it is worth? I am using Outlook for email and I have
selected to use Word as Rich Text and HTML Editor.

Also, can someone suggest a good but preferably inexpensive CD/DVD Office XP
tutorial, or a good reference book for Office XP?
 
Others can answer more authoritatively, but my general impression is that
using Word as an email editor still causes problems.

Hi Lori,
one problem is, that outlook creates a somehow partial
instance of a word object, as far as I can see.
If you have outlook in your autostart folder, an
automatic update of normal.dot could be impossible,
because outlook-word opens the normal.dot and prevents
overwriting. The same applies to spell-checking in
outlook, that uses parts of word as well. And because of
multitasking the sequence of autostart-entries
is not relevant, as Windows tries to do everything
at the same time.
