Default losing Word as email editor

On unpredictable occasions I've found that Outlook seems
to uncheck the option to use Word as its default editor.
Has anyone experienced this behavior? And if so do you
have any suggestions on how to correct it?

Thanks,

Lloyd

Default losing Word as email editor

Hi,

SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft Word 2002 as your e-mail editor in Outlook 2002,
both the Stationery and Signature options that you select are not applied
to your currently open message.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because you changed your stationery and signature in
the global e-mail editor options by clicking the Options button on the
toolbar, and then clicking the Stationery and the Signature options in your
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) message.

When you make changes in the global e-mail editor, these changes apply to
all new messages, but do not change the stationery theme or signature for
your currently open message.
WORKAROUND
Use the following work around to change the stationery for your open
message:
In the open message, click Theme on the Format menu.
Click the theme that you want, and then click OK.
If a default signature has been inserted, you can change it by
right-clicking the signature, and then clicking the signature that you
want. If there is no signature in the message, then you must change the
global settings, and create a new message. To do this:
With the message open, click Options on the Tools menu.
On the General tab, click E-mail Options.
On the E-mail Signature tab, create your signatures, and then click the
default e-mail signature.
On the Personal Stationery tab, click the default theme and fonts.
Click OK twice.
Close the message, and then open a new message.
