I am using Outlook 2002 and I have no wish to upgrade to 2007 - it just
seems more and more complex without any benefit for me.

Yet I do need Word 2007.

So with this combination - I have found that when I want to write a new
email with Outlook 2002 - I now don't have the option of having WORD as my
email editor.

Is there anyway of getting WORD 2007 to work with OL 2002?

Nope.

Just curious; care to tell us your objections to Outlook 2007 a bit more
detailed? Better security and improved email management are big benefits.
Some features;
-Search Folders
-Color Categories
-Instant Search
-To-Do Bar
-built-in Junk Mail and Phishing filter

For integration between Office components to work, the components must
the same version. If you want to use Word as your e-mail editor, it
must match whatever version of Outlook that you want to use.
