| RE: How do I stop my replies to email appearing in a smaller font? [message #443766] |

This has bugged me for months and months now. I've altered "Settings" under
"Options" for fonts and generally get my preference for "New mail", but
clicking on a link address on a webpage will always use Calibri 11 point
(Windows default) no matter what my local preferences say. The mail page
that opens will have my default Arial font used for the header, but always
uses Calibri 11 point for body text. This is driving me crazy... no options
seem to exist for a global font rule. I want Arail 14 point used in every
occasion, but am seemingly unable to make Outlook 2007 do this. Any help
much appreciated.

Open Control Panel, then Mail. Clicking on Data Files should show you
what PST file(s) you use, and where they are located.

I tried this before but it doesn't work. I'm still getting the same error
message when I try to change the view in Outlook from Inbox to Main page
using Outlook Help.

Can no one recommend an add-in to fix this, or some other solution? You two
bickering about the reason you don't have this option/why you should is
certainly not helping. Anyone can click the right places (manually) to
convert the message back to HTML, then switch to a font that isn't horrible ,
then re-paste in a nice signature, but certainly there must be a
better/faster/2007 solution. Anyone?

When you have the latest version (4.5) of ActiveSync installed as well, then
you shouldn't have any issues with syncing with the latest version of
Outlook. Your mobile device probably shipped with version 3.x or something.
Then it indeed won't sync with later versions of Outlook ;-)
You can download it here;

Since I am running Windows Vista, you indicated that I must run Outlook as
the Administrator. However, when I go to Start and then right click on
Outlook 2003, the option to log into Outlook as the Administrator does not
appear. Please let me know what I am missing. Thanks again, Phil

Try this:
In Windows Explorer go to
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11 and right-click on Outlook.exe.
That should give you the "Run as Administrator" option.

No, we can't. You never bothered to identify WHO is the e-mail

Try loading Outlook in its safe mode ("outlook.exe /safe") which does
not load any add-ons that you installed into Outlook. If Outlook then
closes properly, you have an add-on that is hanging on exit. If true,
disable all add-ons and then enable one at time and restart Outlook.
When the problem returns, it was the last add-on you reenabled that
causes the problem.
When Outlook starts, it also loads all enabled add-ons. If an add-on
hangs or crashes on loading then Outlook also hangs or crashes on
loading. When Outlook exits, it must first unload all add-ons. If an
add-on hangs or crashes when it exits, it also hangs or crashes Outlook
when it tries to exit.

It is always better to exit Outlook *before* shutting down Windows. If
Windows needs to forcibly end Outlook, the Outlook data file(s) may not
get properly closed, and the file(s) may get damaged.
Either way, it may not be Outlook itself that cannot be ended by
Windows; it may be an add-on. Try starting Outlook in Safe Mode (Start |
Run | outlook.exe /safe) to see if Windows can end Outlook successfully.
Make sure to take regular backup of your Outlook data file(s),
especially if you let Windows shutdown end Outlook.

Hi,
I am having trouble with Outlook 2007. It will not open properly. The bottom
2/3rds appears as a white screen but the top third stays as the background.
The bar at the top says (not responding) and nothing happens. Word and Excel
both open OK. I have uninstalled outlook and office and reinstalled. I have
installed Outlook 2003 and this works OK.
I have tried changing some of the registry as recomended on some sites for
the tools bars and normal templates but there is no change.
Is there anything else that I can try? Also is there a program that could
completely uninstall all trace of the program, so I could re-install it
again (similar to the Norton removal programs)?
Cheers
Lenny

Quite some time ago, I was given a link to a program that would send
separate, personalized messages in an email to a distribution list.
I believe it created, or sent, unique messages to each addressee in the list
in a faxhion that made it look like it was NOT sent to a distribution list.
Does anyone have an idea where that add-in can be found?

Luc,
We have experienced the same problem with Rules becoming corrupt purely
based on the size of the file you are trying to import. I think the file size
limit is 64kb, anything over this and you run the risk of corruption and
subsequently errors such as you have seen. You can additionally go to Start >
Run > type in Outlook /cleanrules and this should clear out any corrupt rules
that exist, however a word to the wise; make sure you have a backup!
