Why can't I get Multiple instances of word?
If you have Word as your e-mail editor, then you already have Word open and
can open documents from its file menu. If not the editor it is a completely independent application and unaffected by Outlook. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Laverne wrote: While I have Outlook open and composing a email, Why can't I call Up word. I have word files that I would like to view sometimes while composing a letter with Outlook. Word will not let me do it, Why. Laverne R. George Sr. |

Why can't I get Multiple instances of word?
I understand that Outlook uses Word as it's editor and I don't have a problem
with it. My problem is While composing using Outlook why can't I open and refference written material in a word document. Can a word document be opened with outlook? I have not seen this within outlook. Do you understand what I am trying to do???

If Word is the editor for Outlook (it doesn't have to be) then it is still
Word and all Word's functions remain available including the ability to open another document or documents from the file menu. If it isn't the editor, then Outlook and Word are completely separate applications. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Laverne wrote: I understand that Outlook uses Word as it's editor and I don't have a problem with it.

Why can't I get Multiple instances of word?
I agree with what you are saying, but:
When using Outlook and I am editing an email message and go to the "File" and click on it. I do not see anything that would allow me to access a Word document as I am trying to do. Wouldnt it be nice to have two Microsoft applications work seamlessly? However, the apps, do not, they are Microsoft apps. You said (it doesn't have to be), I tried to change to HTML but I could not get it to work. What do I have to do to invoke the different editor? Since Outlook does not allow a Word document to be evoked. I will use my work around, compose in Word and when finished calling up other Word documents for references, copy my composed document, exit word, and invoke Outlook and past my document into Outlooks email.

From Outlook, select tools options mail format. Is 'Use Microsoft Word
to edit e-mails' checked. If it is then the file menu should be exactly the same as it is whenever else you use Word. If it isn't then you are using Outlook's own editor and Word is a separate application.Neither setting should prevent you having Word documents and e-mail messages edited at the same time. While in Word, check tools options view windows in taskbar, so that Word will 'appear' as separate applications for each open document. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Laverne wrote: I agree with what you are saying, but: When using Outlook and I am editing an email message and go to the "File" and click on it.

Sorry Mr. Mayor;
Outlook does not work as you stated. Outlooks File menu does not contain an entry to access Word. Go ahead and try to find an access to word from Outlook. If you find a link from Outlook to Open a Word document, Please show me how. You can not access a Word document while using Outlooks emails use of that version of Word. Again; Outlooks File menu does not have a link to Word. I hope you understand what I am trying to do. It is simple and can not be done. Please try it and you will see. Laverne R. George Call me if you would like. 908-295-7551 Thanks for trying to help me. "Graham Mayor" wrote: From Outlook, select tools options mail format. Is 'Use Microsoft Word to edit e-mails' checked.

It works here whether or not Word is Outlook's e-mail editor and whether or
not you have Word set to view Windows in the task bar (Tools Options General) which is exactly what should happen.

Why can't I get Multiple instances of word?
Mr. Mayor;
I found a way to do what I was looking for on my computer. Involk Outlook and open an Email session. I can not open Word from the Icon on the Office bar. If I "Right click" on the Word Icon on the Office bar a menu comes up. On the top of the menu is "Open" If I click it, Word opens as normal and I have an open session of Outlook and Word at the same time. Why? I don't know, but I found a way. Thanks for your help.
