Hi Brian, The below will get you started. I will post more when I think of them. 1. In the "view menu", do the following: *. Arrow down to reading pain and right arrow in here. Up arrow to off and press enter. This turns off the reading pain. *. Arrow down to the To Do sub menu, right arrow in here and up arrow to Off then press enter key. *. Arrow down to toolbars and right arrow in here. Make sure that only the format and status bars are checked. *. In view menu, right arrow into current view and press letter W to turn off the showing of date headings over the various groups of emails in your Inbox etc. Well I do this as I find it annoying. 2. Go into the "Tools menu" and do the following: *. Arrow down to "trust center" and press enter. In here, press the up arrow to "email security" and then tab over a total of "9" times. Here check the box for show emails in plain text then tab key once more and also check this box, show digitally signed emails in plain text. Tab to ok and press spacebar. Good luck, Paul. ******************************************************************** National Council for the Blind of Ireland (NCBI) is a company limited by guarantee (registered in Ireland No. 26293) .
