Outlook Reading Pane disappeared - how to get it back?

[Greg Ratcliffe]

I am running Outlook 2007 under Windows XP, with all the latest updates.
I had a crash a couple of days ago, and since then the Reading Pane is not
displayed.
After searching the net, I have uninstalled McAfee, disabled add-ins, and
created a new profile, none of which have solved the problem.
This is not the problem where text does not appear in the Reading Pane, this
is the problem where the Reading Pane itself does not appear, even though the
"Right" button is checked under "Other Settings".
Several other technical sites have described the problem, but all of the
solutions suggested have not worked for me (as listed above).
Any new ideas?

Hi Greg,

Do you mean by "Right" button is checked that you are under:
View
Reading Pane
and either "Right" or "Bottom" is checked versus "Off" being checked?

Cindy,

No, I was talking about the option under
View
Current View
Customise Current View
Other Settings
Reading Pane

I had complete missed the option you have noted, and that was indeed set to
OFF. As soon as I set that option to RIGHT, everything worked fine.

So, thank-you for pointing out the much more obvious option that I had
overlooked. Idiots like me should not be allowed near a computer!!

Cheers,

Greg.
