I recently installed Outlook XP(2002) and when I try to
create a new message or reply to another one, I cannot
change the formatting of the fonts. The toolbar show as
gray. I tried to uncheck it and re-check it, but this
does nothing. I tried a repair and still no change.
Thanks for any help out there.

do you have the cursor in the body of an HTML message?

I am not sure what you are asking. I am using plain text
as the Format Type. And this happens if I reply or create
a new message.

Thanks again for any help.
Strange problem!

Ah... plain text can't be formatted, only HTML or RTF. to change how you see
them, tools, options, mail format, fonts and change the plain text font.
