Yes, Word has to be the editor.
As far as html messages, when you open one you can do the following:
Press: alt-h x v
This will open the message in IE.
I think there is a macro to do this for you but I have not looked into it
yet.
I am including an email string here where this was talked about a while back
so keep reading below my signiture.
Good luck
Scott
Hello Raoul,
Thanks for reminding me about google, who is, after all, my friend.
For those who are interested look at
http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/wordhtml.htm
There you will find a very good explanation of why Outlook 2007 works as it
does and some very full instructions on how to work round it.
In the article itself it does recognise that people using access software
are among those impacted.
I will try to put the macro in place over the weekend.
Regards, John

Subject: Re: A Script for Outlook 2007 please
Hello John. It's not a matter of priorities, but a matter of time. Also,
most sighted users who take time to post blogs about having to view
messages with Word in Outlook will also be complaining. So it's not just
a blind user annoyance. I believe I remember seeing somewhere on the net
a macro that someone wrote which will solve your problems. The thing
about this, it's a macro which works whether you are blind or not, and
whether you use WE or not.
Google is your friend in this case as I don't have any further specifics
on this.
many thanks.

Subject: Outlook 2007 Questions
In Outlook 2007 does Word have to be the editor?
If not, how do you change it? Can't seem to find the option in the menu.
Also how do you get message to show up in HTML format?
Turned off reading pane already is there anything else I should set?
Thanks,
Pastor Gil
