Using MS Word as the email editor is asking for trouble in Outlook.  I
can think of no reason not to use Outlook's built-in text editor.  It
acts, for the important stuff, just like MS Word (including spell
check), and 99% of the headaches go away.
I could swear I read that FS recommends not setting Word as the default
editor, but that recommendation could have come from another screen
reader maker.  
I know I had lots of problems when I tried, quite accidentally, to use
MS Word as the default email editor.  I would switch back if I were you.

Subject: Outlook 2000 and MS Word


Hello All,
I use Microsoft Outlook 2000 with MS Word as the default Email editor.
I notice that when I'm editing an email in Word and I enter into a Word
dialog - the spellchecker, the insert footnote dialog-JAWS suddenly
looses focus in the dialog and lands me back into my document.  I might
for example be tabbing through the spellcheck dialog when I suddenly
realize that JAWS is actually inserting the tab characters into my file!

Any hints?
