Mac...the point is she seems to want to be able to turn the Preview Pane on while she is in a folder....then turn it off in that folder when she's no longer in it, BEFORE she opens it again....and Outlook can't do that She may be the only person I've ever met who has this specific need tho...LOL Tina the trailblazer!!

An addition from Linda Tina, I followed the directions to make Outlook No Preview like this: I right clicked on my desktop and selected New, Shortcut. Then I did Browse to where Outlook.exe is & clicked ok. The in the shortcut address, after the " mark, I typed a space /nopreview. Then I renamed the shortcut to Outlook No preview. Then I deleted all the other shortcuts for Outlook, one on the desktop & the one in the quick launch bar. I put a short cut to Outlook No Preview in the quick launch bar. Now I never get the preview pane. You can do it! I know you are a master of FrontPage & that is a lot harder!
