The PC is on Citrix thus the registry can not be accessed.

Is there a way to write a macro that would capture the email being read and
open Word as the editor? I can use Word as the editor for new emails because
I have it as an icon on the toolbar (got it from the action menu under
customizing the toolbar). I need to be able to easily use it for Reply and
Reply to All.

Thanks

You'd need to write to the Windows registry when Outlook was closed down,
the setting for that is only read from the registry on startup. Any changes
after that are written to the registry and the current setting is maintained
in an in-memory cache, but the registry setting isn't read again.

Of course if you do that you run the risk of running afoul of your admins if
you're caught.

Using Word as the default editor has been turned off by the admins.
However,
one can select it by customizing the tool bar and adding Microsoft Word
from
the Actions group.

The problem with this is that it isn't used when replying to emails unless
one copies the email they are replying to and pasting it into word.

Is there a way to write a macro that would allow one to reply using Word?
In
other words, a macro whose icon I can put on the toolbar to replace the
current Reply and one to replace Reply to All? Or even better, a macro the
user can click on when Outlook is opened and it will set Word as the
default
editor?
