Outlook 2002 locks up with Word as Editor when replying to s
I have Office XP (2002) and use Outlook for my email, generally using Word as
my email editor. I occasionally run into a problem when I try to reply to or forward specific emails, usually from the same senders, where Outlook totally locks up as soon as I click on the reply button. Not only do I have to use the Task Manager to close Outlook so I can restart it, I also need to close Word, and then I have to go into processes in the Task Manager and end the Word process which is still going on, even though Word has been closed. If I don't do this, the only other way to get Outlook email working again is to reboot the computer. If I turn off Word as email editor, I can then reply to these emails with no problem, otherwise it would happen again. The one thing the emails seem to have in common is one or more image tags with a source code that looks something like this: src="mhtml:mid://00000018/!cid:00d701c54116$01ead3e0$c217480c@D2DZJD21". I copied that one right from the view source page on one such email I recently received. Can anyone tell me what might be causing this, and, more important, how to fix it? I don't want to stop using Word as my email editor. -- Larry S. SF Bay Area |

try renaming normal.dot and see if it helps.

Re: Outlook 2002 locks up with Word as Editor when replying
Hi Diane,
Thanks for your suggestion. Don't I need to have normal.dot for Word to operate properly? One of the reasons I use Word as my email Editor is becasuse I use some memorized autotext entries as signatures. Is normal.dot necessary to continue using those, or is it irrelevant? Thanks. Larry |

rename it and word will create a new copy the next time it loads.

Re: Outlook 2002 locks up with Word as Editor when replying
Hi Diane,
Are the autotext entries part of normal.dot, or are they in some other file? If they are part of normal.dot, then how can I get them all to transfer to the new normal.dot after the rename. By the way, what folder do I find normal.dot in? Thanks.

Re: Outlook 2002 locks up with Word as Editor when replying
I'm not sure where the autotext entries are offhand, that's why you rename
it instead of deleting until you see if it is the solution. If it isn't, delete the new one and rename the old. if it fixes the problem, then figure out how to move things stored in it that you don't want to recreate. The easiest way to find it is using search - choose the advanced option to search all hidden files and folders, and system files, and search the windows drive (usually c:) |

Any resolution??
I am seeing this same EXACT problem in Outlook 2003 with Word 2003. Exact issue. Replacing the normal.dot does NOT fix it. The messages contain that syntax because they have imbedded sound...
Thanks for any help. Chuck |
