Strikethrough Driving Me Crazy

F

Frustrated

Please help! Someone sent me a document last week that I was to edit. It was preformatted to track changes. I've had trouble with e-mail ever since, with everything I type and all text I receive appearing with strikethrough. After several days of troubleshooting, I finally realized that Word formatting controlled e-mail formatting, and I unchecked the strikethrough feature in Word. Now, e-mails that I type look okay.............. BUT, the text in all e-mails I reply to or forward appear with strikethrough. Even if I uncheck the strikethrough in every e-mail I send out, when those e-mails come back to me, everything has strikethrough through it. Even if this worked, I don't want to have to hassle with every single e-mail, and can't figure out what else I need to do to get rid of this feature. Any help would be apprecitated. Please e-mail me at (e-mail address removed). Thank you.

By the way, just above my text box in e-mail, off to the right hand side, is a drop-down menu that says "Strikethrough" in it. When I click on the drop-down menu, there are no other selections.

Try going into your Outlook options...Tools/Options/Mail Format
tab/Fonts...button*Under the Stationery and Font*/Choose Font...button under
each of the 3 categories (When composing a new message, When replying and
forwarding, When composing and reading plain text) to make sure that none of
them have strikethrough selected.

Hope this helps
