RE: Annoying outlook Problem
I would never use Word as my email editor, I have read to much about how unstable it is, and how much it crashes your system. My secrateries also like to use it, and they also wonder why there machines crash. Another good one is But I have 100MB of free space why do I need more?.

I have had this and other strange behaviour in ol98 caused by using Word. I've tried convincing our secretaries that they should use one of the built in editors ( HTML or RTF) but they like Word because they know all the keyboard shortcuts off by heart.

No offense to you, but it always cracks me up. Companies are just preparing to roll out a program that is 2 years old.

RE: Annoying outlook Problem
No offense taken. We are a fairly small company, but the parent is about 2000 people, and about 3000 PCs. They have some goofy thing were they actually have to have the permission form each department to upgrade their PCs, before they can upgrade them. As you can imagine, that takes quite a bit of time with the usual politics.
