Some of the content in this topic may not be applicable to some languages.

With Microsoft Word set as your e-mail editor, create or open a message.
You are now using Word from within Microsoft Outlook.
Ask the Office Assistant your question, or, on the Help menu, click Microsoft Word Help. To return to Outlook Help, click Inbox on the Outlook Bar to switch back to Outlook, and then type a question in the Assistant.

If you don't currently have Word set as your e-mail editor, you can do so now.

How?

Do one of the following:

Turn Word on or off as your default e-mail editor for all new messages

From the main Outlook window, click the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Mail Format tab.
Select or clear the Use Microsoft Word to edit e-mail messages check box.

Turn Word on as your e-mail editor for one new message

On the Actions menu, point to New Mail Message Using, and then click Microsoft Word (message format)

Turn Word on for viewing all Outlook Rich Text formatted messages

You may want to set this option if you often receive the message "This message contains formatting that is best viewed with Microsoft Word. Click here to display in Word."

From the main Outlook window, click the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Mail Format tab.
Select the Use Microsoft Word to read Outlook Rich Text e-mail messages box.

Note If Word is your e-mail editor, see Word Help for information about working with messages.
