Outlook email defaults
Does anyone know where the default setting for Outlook emails is hidden please?
Irritatingly, since my little bit of trouble last month, all the new emails I write are in violet and underlined.
People are beginning to talk! (I'm not that sort of girl, and, honestly, I don't like SHOUTING.) So, any ideas, please, folks?

Thanks, SD, but...
Bin there, dun that (lots!)... there's obviously something going on that I don't understand. I even deleted Office (it's '03, by the way, but I don't think that's significantly different from '02) and reinstalled. But of course, I saved the docs and templates, and the problem was still there. No prob with anything else in the Office suite: use everything except Access, and good as gold.
I'll keep looking.

Ah, if you are using Word as your Outlook message editor, then the settings for Outlook will be different - haven't got that set up so can't advise further.

Well, BOAC, good hint. Thanks.
1. Trouble is my default is plain text, having found that some people (AOL customers I've discovered) can't see attachments if I attach to HTML docs. And Styles and Formatting is greyed out with plain text, innit?
2. Anyhoo, I changed to HTML to see if I could change formatting and make it stick with the next message (it didn't) and discovered that my idiotic violet underlined text - the default - is followed hyperlink formatting and, no, I don't know how that happened, either.
More head-scratching.
& Daz, Outlook 'cos it links to my iPAQ and my Nokia, so, wherever I am and whatever toy I have with me, I've still got diary, contacts etc., & always updated, too. I'm sure that other fancy packages *could* be persuaded to talk to 'em, but I'm in enough trouble as it is. Sorry to p. you off (well, I'm not really...)

I got round that a different way, Jim.
I use Outlook for diary (it does that quite well), and my address book is on it. That syncs to my batphone (and used to sync to the iPaq when I had one). The laptop has the same setup, and the batphone is the common updater device. In fact, 99% of all diary and adress updates go via the phone anyway.
But for e-mail I use Thunderbird. It's so much better (honest!).

Oh well, thanks, y'all

I think I'll have to think it out again. But not until after Christmas - too much buzzing around 'till then!
Thanks everyone,
Jim
