I have a requirement to add a custom action pane in outlook 2003. I have
looked into the possibility of using VSTO 2005, but am able to add action
panes only to word. Is there any way of adding a custom action pane in
outlook programatically or is any workaround available.

VSTO does not provide any tools for creating an actions pane for Outlook.
Perhaps you could figure something out based on this blog post--it shows how
to make a Windows Form look like a task pane:
