Microsoft Outlook gets close when I try to forward an email.
Or Outlook close with an error message when I try to reply or forward an email.
Reason
If you disable “Use Microsoft Word 2003 to Edit e-mail messages” by any chance and if you received an email from Outlook which enables this feature you will not able to forward or reply to this email. It will generate a run time error. Either it will request you to report it to Microsoft or if you have disable this feature outlook will close without any error or warning.
Solution
Disable “Use Microsoft Word 2003 to Edit e-mail messages”. In that way you prevent someone else who is not using this feature in Outlook crashing his/her outlook when he/she try to forward or reply to your email.
If you are facing this error you can simply check whether you disable “Use Microsoft Word 2003 to Edit e-mail messages” and enable it temporary. Then you can request sender to disable this feature if you are in a position to do so.
