That setting isn't exposed in the object model, but it is stored in the
registry:

Hi Eric, Thanks for your clarification.

Anyway, do you know the VB code or API code to edit the Outlook
registry programatically in order to uncheck that Word Editor option?
Could you please show me?

And also will there be any risk of changing the Outlook registry??

Your help will be deeply appreciated. Thanks..

There are plenty of other registry wrapper classes available - just Google
and you'll find more.

Hi Eric,

One last question. Sorry for keep asking. Well, I'm new to registry
editing, I just want to make sure the code is right before running it
as i don't want to ruin the registry system. So, based on the
cRegistry class and the Outlook registry key link you sent me before,
please help me to verify the following code if i want to set the MS
Outlook editing mode from Word to HTML only.



Dim c As New cRegistry

With c
.ClassKey = HKEY_CURRENT_USER
.SectionKey = "Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Option s
\Mail"
.ValueKey = "EditorPreference"
.ValueType = REG_DWORD
.Value = 131072
End With



I appreciate your help...
