Outlook 2007 - Editor format in compose or reply
Outlook 2007 - replying to and composing emails
I know that I HAVE to use Word 2007 editor (Grrrr...) But how do I get the Word "Print Layout" when composing or replying to emails. It seems to be fixed in the Web Layout, which shows fonts at about four times their actual size, and is less than useful for composing emails. Or better still, is there a way around HAVING to use Word as the editor??? thanks greenhart |

It's not exactly Word anymore or Outlook but a whole new editor. What is
your issue with it? Sounds to me you have your zoom factor set to anything other than 100%.

Outlook 2007 - Editor format in compose or reply
Thanks, I found the Zoom level was 150%. I have set it to 100% which is much
better. Why on earth it doesn't default to 100% I have no idea. But I think you need to do some more research into Outlook 2007. This is in the Outlook 2007 Help: "Change the Outlook e-mail editor The Microsoft Office Word 2007-based e-mail editor is the only e-mail editor provided in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. The Word 2007 editor is always enabled and cannot be disabled. The Outlook editor is no longer available in Office Outlook 2007. You do not have to have Office Word 2007 installed on your computer. The current editor is built into Outlook 2007, and many Word 2007 features and commands are fully integrated into the editor. Note If you have Word 2007 installed on your computer, additional features and commands are available. For a list of features and commands, see Using Outlook 2007 with or without Word 2007 installed. What is missing from the new e-mail editor? Some functionality from earlier versions of the e-mail editor is no longer available, including animated .gifs, embedded flash objects, and some advanced HTML and CSS formatting. You can use your Web browser to search the Web to find information about alternative ways to reproduce some of this functionality. For a more in-depth look, see the Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 e-mail editor white paper." |

No need to do more research for me, I know what you mean but it's just how you want to call it. In previous versions of Outlook it was truly Word that you opened. Now, it is an editor that is based on Word. I wouldn't call it "using Word as the email editor" anymore in Outlook 2007. The interface is different from Word, there are different options and also most settings are stored completely independent from Word. In that sense it is a whole new beast which cannot be compared to what we used to call the Outlook or Word email editor. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "gh" wrote in message ...
