Hi Dave, My friend, it is even worse than you think. I have Office 2007 professional and, by golly, alt+v takes me to “view” and V yields, guess what, “messages” as the first thing out of the box. The really stupid thing is that nothing seems to be consistent. God, take me back to DOS!

It's not in my version of Outlook 2007. Alt+v opens the view menu. V opens the Current View submenu. The first item is "Customize Current View" The next item down is "Define view" The next item down is "Format columns" No other items in that submenu. If I do open the first item "Customize Current View" I get the following dialog: Customize View: Messages Description Fields... Importance, Reminder, Icon, Flag Status, Attachment, Fro... Group By... None Sort... Received (descending) Filter... Off Other Settings... Fonts and other Table View settings Automatic Formatting... User defined fonts on each message Format Columns... Specify the display formats for each field Reset Current View OK Cancel That's it. Here's my version: Microsoft® Office Outlook® 2007 (12.0.6514.5000) SP2 MSO (12.0.6425.1000) Part of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 I guess the difference is in the "Professional"? It's bad enough trying to help with setting things up, but when MS makes differnt sub-versions of the same application with different menus, then it's fairly impossible. Blame it on MS! Becky, it sounds like your version of Outlook 2007 is similar to Cathy's version, so you'll be better off working this with her.

Open the View Menu (ALT-V) 2. Open the “Current View” Sub Menu (V) 3. Press ENTER on “Messages.” It’s the first option in the sub menu I’m using Outlook 2007 as well and that’s where the option to show all your messages is located. --- CathyAnne Murtha Access Technology Institute www.blindtraining.com Phone: (520) 303-5885 FAX: (800) 986-6198 ==================================================================================== La version française suit le texte anglais. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This email may contain privileged and/or confidential information, and the Bank of Canada does not waive any related rights.
