Word 2003 opens when Outlook 2003 is open

[mlchris2]

I have a user who is running XP SP2 and running Office 2003 Pro. We recently started using Outlook for this one user as he was using Lotus Notes.

When Outlook is started, Word starts up, but doenst open a new document.

I disabled Word as Outlook editor and it still does it.

I've also reinstalled/repaired Office and just Outlook alone. I havent removed Office and then reinstalled.

Any ideas?

Are you saying that Word and Outlook both open or only Word opens when this users starts Outlook?

 

[mlchris2]

Sorry...

Outlook opens and then word opens.

Does it do this in Safe Mode?

I have the same problem - does not happen if I start in safe mode.

If I send a message it is impossble to close unless I close outlook

It will not let me exit and close if I make a new diary entry but asks me if I want to save the new entry when I click on the close box
