SYMPTOMS
You cannot use the Microsoft Office Word 2003 Ink Annotation Toolbar while you send e-mail by using Microsoft Office Outlook 2003.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
You can still use the ink drawing and writing for e-mail.

To use the ink for writing and drawing, you must use Microsoft Word as your e-mail editor for HTML format messages. You can use Word as your default e-mail editor, or use Word as your e-mail editor for a single message.

To make Word your default e-mail editor in HTML format for all new messages, follow these steps:
 * 1) In the Microsoft Outlook window, on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Mail Format tab.
 * 2) In the Compose in this message format box, click HTML.
 * 3) Click to select the Use Microsoft Word to edit e-mail messages check box.

To make Word your e-mail editor for one new message, in the main Outlook window, point to New Mail Message Using on the Actions menu, and then click Microsoft Word (HTML).

Note This command is available only if you are not already using Word as your e-mail editor.

To use the Ink and Drawing feature for e-mail, follow these steps:
 * 1) In the message, tap where you want to write or draw.

Note You can insert ink only in the body of the message. Other information, such as names in the To box and a title in the Subject box, must be typed text.
 * 1) On the Insert menu, point to Picture, and then tap Ink Drawing and Writing.
 * 2) Write or draw your e-mail message.
 * 3) When you are finished, tap Stop Inking.
