I am suddenly having a strange problem, apparently focusing on something
strange in the formatting of e-mail
I am using Outlook 2002 through MS Terminal Server (Via IE) through my new
Dell 600m (WinXP Pro). The same problem occurs when I use my Dell desktop
in the same way. Until this morning I had had OL Mail Format set to compose
mail in HTML with a check mark for "Use MS Word to edit e-mail messages" and
also to use Word to read RTF stuff. This was working fine. Whenever I
composed an e-mail some sort of template or stationery would appear with my
signature. However, now I find that I can address e-mail under this setup
but cannot not actually enter any sort of message. I can type away and the
cursor moves with each stroke, but the message remains absolutely blank.
Even the signature is gone. If I insert my signature it is blank. So I
unchecked the "Use MS Word."
Now I am getting this strange error message when I start to compose or read
e-mail: "Microsoft Internet Explorer: Your current security settings
prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page. As a result, the page may
not display correctly." I click OK (the only choice, of course!) and there
is my signature! The e-mail composition seems OK except that I obviously
cannot use any formatting from Word, the sort of stuff that can make
messages seem a little more professional (e.g., tabs that actually line up
on the page, spelling and autocorrect, etc.) It makes no difference which
computer I use.
Is there a way to get Word back into the picture?
