    Using Outlook 2003 with Word 2007 as e-mail Editor

    Currently i am using "Office 2003 Home" and "Student Edition" and i am willing to replace them with "Office 2007 H&SE". Problem is that i am not willing to pay for Outlook 2007 and I'm thinking of using Outlook 2003 with with Word 2007 as e-mail editor. I have asked about the same to my friends if Word 2007 will work fine with Outlook 2003 and i have got varying answers. So i wanted to confirm if it will work or i will have to stick with word 2003. any ideas?

    I had thought of doing the same and now i am regretting on it, i have installed Office 2007 without uninstalling Office 2003 and now Outlook 2003 is not able to find Word 2003 nor Word 2007. Now i will either have to buy Outlook 2007 or will have to stick with Office 2003. I have tried my best to get Outlook 2003 working with Word 2007 and have come across some people who have mentioned that there is some kind of hack for getting them working together but i am not willing to take further risks.

    Guys is there any update on this issue? Even i was planning to install "Office 2007 H&SE" without Outlook 2007 and use Outlook 2003 with Word 2007 but i have come across most of them saying that it wont work that way. I am not i hurry so i am still looking out if there is a fix to get them working together. I have gone through some other forums recently and some people have mentioned that they have got it working using hacks as xanix has mentioned but i don't have any experience with those things so i cant try them.

    Doing that was really not a good idea, i will like to inform you that when Outlook version does not match other office apps then its integration gets lost and that's the reason Outlook 2003 is not able to find Word 2003 nor Word 2007 in your case.
