Using Word as the editor in Outlook for the e-mail messages is a wonderful option due to its advanced editing capabilities and automatic language selection like features. To set the Word as the default e-mail editor, you need to follow few of the simple steps. In the option menu of the Outlook, click on the Mail Format and check the MS Word and click OK.
But the problems arises, when you try to create a new e-mail message or try to reply any of the incoming message, any of the following error mesaages may get displayed:
“This form requires Word as your e-mail editor but Word is either busy or cannot be found. The form will be opened in the Outlook Editor instead.”
Or
“WordMail is busy or unavailable”
After this Outlook stops responding. Well, the root of the problem lies in the fact if you have upgraded Microsoft Office to Office XP. In the mean course, if few registry of the earlier version has not been removed during the upgrade then this might be causing the problem. So this is due to the misbehavior of those registries.
So to correct the issue you need to play with the registry which is a very risky game. The solution runs in two steps: editing the registry and repairing of MS Office:
• First you need to run regedit and then locate the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0
After this, you need to delete these keys.
• The second step includes the repair of MS Office in the Control Panel.
