problem with overlapping text in contact forms

I have Outlook 2007 on a cumputer running Windows XP Professional SP3. Whe I attempt to add a new category for contacts, the text input appears completely overlapped and garbled. When I hit OK to create the new category, it comes out correctly, but I can not see if it is inputted correctly until after I hit OK. This problem seems to be spreading to other standard Outlook forms, especially those that appear in a pop-up window. Any ideas as to what might be causing this and how to resolve this?

change mail format for contacts

For the iphone, attachments come over as winmail.dat and the solution is to change the mail format in options, mail format to HTML. Also the individual contacts needs to be changed by double clicking the email address and changing the internet format to Send Plain Text only. After these changes are made, the attachments come over fine. I have had problems with this issue with some contact before. I would love to be able to make this change globally instead of having to edit all contacts. Can this be done.
