Hello all,

When desiring to send an e-mail, (outlook 2003) I get a "pop-up error" saying Outlook cannot find a Word file. I must click OK and then I can send an e-mail.

I believe it was caused when I deleted a personal "tag". The "tag" may be Word based so when I deleted it Outlook is still looking to attach the "tag".

Any thoughts as to get rid of this error message?

Thanks, Erica
 
Are you using word as your email editor, if so try removing the tick box options.
Click tools / options / mail format and then see what happens.
 
Thanks for the advice clubsceneuk2....but unticking the word as mail editor did not work.

Its so funny as soon as I click "New" to compose a new e-mail. The error box pops up "cannot find a word file. Make sure the path and file name are correct."

Then I click Ok and I can compose a new e-mail. Its just that this error message is annoying. I wonder if I uninstall 2003 suite and re-install if this error will go away? I was hoping a setting change would take care of it.

Thanks.....
 
Maybe you could do a repair.

In Outlook, click on help and select Detect and Repair.
 
Hi there.
Do you have a default Signture set? Is it looking for one but unable to find it?
You can check this via Tools\Options\Mail Format\Signatures
 
Thank you MrTBC it was looking for a VCard that was deleted as the default signature. I just set up a new signature and everything is fine. Thank you everybody. Sorry for getting back so late about this.....
