Well...I can't find this error specifically...but everything I find relating to Word/Outlook and "synchronous" points to Exchange Server....is this happening at Work, using Exchange Server? If so, contact your network administrator, since I doubt this is something you can fix. If you aren't running Outlook on a network with Exchange Server, than I would try a Detect and Repair....or see if this happens when you copy/paste inside Word alone? Or see if it happens if you DON'T use Word as your email editor? Let us know.
