I saw this question answered through a link to a solution on another
site...and though that may be effective for someone who is a systems admin, I
am just a user that needs a bit more direction.

The whole message is "Outlook could not create work file. Check temp
environment variable."

Using Office Professional 2007 with Business Contact Manager on Vista
Utimate platform on a Lenovo X61Tablet PC...@ 30 days old.

This message started in both Word and Outlook the other day.  Though I am
uncertain the cause, it happened about the time the add-in for Office to
create PDF and XPS file was not longer available...so I installed the add-in
from the Microsoft page.

Though I would hate to admit that I need my hand held on this one...I think
a little step by step may be what I need.
