Hi
I have a addin with a atuoexecmacro. It works fine and do what I want except
for when I have started Outlook before I start word. I understand that it
must have something to do with the fact that I have word as mail editor. Is
there a way to solve this problem so that it works with word as mail editor?

The best solution is NOT to have Word as an eMail editor. Use rich text
instead as there is no advantage of having Word as such an editor.

It will also make Outlook run faster. This is one of the first things
which I do when I install a new version of Office/Outlook.

You have answered your own question. Start Word before Outlook.

This is normal behaviour. You'll find it worn't work if you start Word by
double clicking a document in Windows Explorer also.
