Post subject: Word 2007 and Word 2003 Coexisting with Outlook 2007
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>word>mail (more info?)

Hello there,

We are working on a plan to deploy Outlook 2007 separate from the 2007
Office Suite. After learning that there is a loss of functionality
without Word 2007 installed, we are hoping to install Word 2007 in
addition to the Word 2003. The issue we have is that after installing
Word 2007, it sets that as the default for opening Word documents.
There is a workaround to reset the file associations but running the
Detect and Repair option in Word 2003, however, this isn't very
practical for a wide deployment.

Even when going in to the file types tab and pointing it to the Word
2003 executable, it still launches 2007.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

What about sending office 2007 documents as attachemnts. My e-mail as
attachment buttons are greyed out. I have Vista and Microsoft Office Suite
2007. It appears that I do not have outlook.

I do not have Outlook on my new system. This must be the problem; although,
it makes no sense since e-mailing a word document in the e-mail body works
fine. It is just the e-mail as attachment button that remains unusable and
greyed out.
