Outlook email editor

Hi there;
I'm running XP and Microsoft Office 2003. Outlook is also 2003. When I try to create a signature in Outlook, I go to the advance editng and Outlook tells me that Word is not my email editor and that it goes to Wordpad. Which then displays like source code. I have checked the box for using Word in my Outlook mail Setup tab as my editor for HTML. and yet when I go back into advanced edit it still tells me that Word is not my email editor.
Please Help.

Hello and Welcome !

In your Outlook go to Tools > Options > Mail Format > Check on "Use Word 2003 as an e-mail editor" and restart the Outlook and test it.

Hope this helps,
Captain

Thanks for your help. I was also running Word 2007 and it was confusing the two together. Must remember to have Word 2003 open only when doing signatures.
I have another questin though. A pop up error keeps coming up about Microsoft Office Live Addin Sign in has encountered a problem and needs to close. Any thoughts on how I can get rid of this everytime I open my Outlook?
Thanks
