Hi Alex, Yes. If you go to the View menu, Arrange By, Current View, Format Columns, then arrow down to subject, and check the allowed width. Increase it. All the best Steve -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of alex thynne Sent: Monday 1 September 2008 17:19 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] problem with maximising the outlook screen Hi A friend of mine is having a problem with getting her outlook screen to be fully maximised. She is reporting that she is only seeing a small amount of the messages in her inbox, I can always see what the subject is before I open the message, and when I have experienced this problem myself, I have always gone to the system menu and pressed x to maximise the screen, which works for me. However, my friend tells me that when she tries this to solve her problem, it doesn't seem to work. She is using microsoft Outlook and windows xp. Could there be some other issue preventing her from seeing what the subject of an email is when she arrows up and down her list of emails?
