In versions 8.0, and 8.01, follow these steps:

1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. On the E-mail tab, click to select "Use Word as the e-mail editor."

In versions 8.02, 8.03, follow these steps:

1. On the Tools menu, click to select "Use Word as the e-mail editor."
   
   NOTE: If your computer has less than 32MB of RAM you will receive a warning:
