Hi all,

I am running XP Home with SP2, and Office XP with SP3 installed. When I am
in Internet Explorer and click Tools | Internet Options and select the
Program tab, the only two options that are available to me as HTML editors
are Notepad and Excel.

Additionally, when I click on File in the title bar, the choice I see in the
drop-down menu is "Edit with Notepad."

There was a time when I could see -- and set -- MS Word as my default IE6
HTML editor. Then, for no apparent reason (although I'm sure there is some
reason) IE6 no longer offered Word as a choice. Still later, Word was again
available for my selection.

Does anyone know why I seem to lose Word as my HTML editor choice from time
to time? More importantly is there some way that if it goes away as a choice
I can easily get it back?

Alan

Why would you want Word as the HTML editor.
Word adds so much bloat to an email.
