Email font size - Asian text font & font (Outlook 2007)

Can i set different font size for "Asian test font" and "Font" respectively for new mail messages? I guess the size and font style controls both Asian text font and font under "Lartin text". And usually font size 11 is my favourite size for English, and I like smaller size for Asian text font in new messages without any additional setting, not sure who can help...

I see red Xs in the message body when I view or open a message.

I can't choose to download the blocked images or other content, I didn't see the InfoBar at the top of the message or right click the blocked image to download the pictures. May I know how to see the content pictures? Thank you.

Adding Recurrence Field to Tasks

Using Outlook 2003 I have my list of tasks for my department grouped by category. The fields I have visible are Subject, Status, Due Date & Start Date. I want to add a column for "Recurrence." I want to be able to see if the recurrence is (for example) monthly, weekly or annually. I don't need to know if it's the first Monday of every month, just that it's monthly. I went into the field chooser and I cannot find a field that would accomplish this. Can this be done? There is a recurring field, but that just lets me know if the task IS recurring, not when.

Setting up MSN mail accounts

Running OL2007 under Vista Home Premium SP2. I'm switching from four accounts with ATT (POP3) to four accounts with MSN (MAPI). I will set the ATT accounts to forward to the MSN accounts after the switchover. I used Outlook Connector to set up the MSN accounts, and I was under the impression that it would set up OL (it did) and would also do what's necessary at MSN to set them up there (I'm not sure about that). Did I skip any steps, or should I be ready to go?

Searching subfolders

Is it possible to search selected subfolders? Thank you.

How can I send email to myself from Outlook to Outlook?

Outlook has stopped allowing me to send email to myself, and yes, I really need to. It isn't sufficient to have it show up in my Sent folder.

This has nothing to do with gmail or any other email program.

Search All Mail returns different results than normal search

Outlook 2007 The normal search searches only the folder you have higlighted. When I go to "All Mail Items" at the top, and try to search there... it does not return the same results as if I had searched each folder individually. For example, I see an email in my inbox, and if I search only the inbox for it, I find it. If I search "All Mail Items" with the same search criteria, it doesn't find the email.

Sudden Increase in ol2003 shut down time

I am running ol2003 (SP3) and Win XP SP3. I have noticed a significant increase in the amount of time it takes ol2003 to shut down; shut down time went from a second or two to a full 10 seconds. This occurred immediately after an op/sys update; so that is that is the likely cause. I have been delaying this update for about two weeks and finally decided to let it happen today.

Truncation on left margin when printinh html from outlook

Using Outlook 2003 with IE 8.0, when we print an HTML form the right 1/2 inch or so is truncated on page 1 only. I have tried to modify the printer settings in IE and outlook (I think outlook brings up a dialogue box that edits the IE print settings). Also, i tried to find where i could change the message headers (from:; re:; etc.) but i cannot find where to do that. It seems to me that the re: line in the outlook header must be sending something that is setting the right margin which gets cleared by the page feed. -- Larry Kates
