diane, sorry i didn't get back sooner. never got an email notification that you'd replied. no, i don't have Office 2010, so i don't have access to that, but i've never had it, so why didn't this problem arise before my OS reinstall and the reinstall of outlook? thanx, g

diane, when i choose File, Options, Spelling and Autocorrect, Autocorrect options like you suggest, the autoformat as you type tab is greyed out, as are all the others except autocorrect. within that tab, everything is grayed out except Replace text as you type, which is checked, and plain...

hi again diane, thanx for getting back. i didn't think i had two profiles but apparently i did- the one outlook automatically creates on install, and the outlook data file that i brought in containing my data. at any rate, i got rid of it, and i went thru the control panel like you said and...

hi diane, thanx for the help but it didn't work. and no, i hadn't changed anything as far as margings or settings. just reinstalled. also, every time i now open outlook, it asks me which profile i want. i choose. 'george' and check 'make this default', but it doesn't. i always have to choose...

hi, after reinstalling Vista Home Premium on my HP laptop and reinstalling Outlook 2010, i FINALLY have everything working except one weird detail: when i compose an HTML email, i no longer have wordwrap, but do with plain text or rich text emails. on reply to even a plain text email, i...

eureka! sounds like you hit the nail on the head. i guess i should have stated that it was an imap acct to begin with. sorry. and i'm in vista home premium. the yahoo imap connector is made by bravura software. http://www.bravurasoftware.com/yahoo-imap/ i think it's around $15 and well worth it...

larry, thanx again. and excuse my ignorance, but this seems really complex. i've done what you say, going to file, open, outlook data file, and i right click on my pst that i have backed up, which is named my email address. (myname@yahoo.com). (i use yahoo imap connector. works like a charm...

hi larry, thanx for getting back. right now there is only one acct in my profile. i'm starting to wonder if my contacts and calendar data are actually in my pst. when i go thru these processes, again i only get my email acct working fine, with all subfolders, plus i have tasks/to-do lists...

hi, i successfully restored my HP laptop OS last weekend . Vista Home Premium. i then reinstalled outlook 2010, imported my backed-up pst, which is the same name as my email address, and after a long whilie, my emails, sub-folders, and tasks/to-do lists all show, but no calendar or contacts...
