Been doing maintenance on the PC and changing it's appearance as you do:)) Gone into Outlook Express and find I no longer have the bar where you can change the font, colour, size etc.. Lost the will to live looking for it. Any ideas how I can get it back or must my e.mails for evermore look dull and boring :))) Jeanx.

Hi Julie, I right click on View and I get a choice of Toolbars which is ticked and View Bar (which I don't want). I have hovered for England but nothing happens. Jean x.

Sorry forgot to say create new message. Then when the box comes up left click on view in the menu bar in the message box. Then if you hover over toolbars it should bring up another box which lists 'standard buttons' then 'formatting bar' underneath, make sure that this is ticked and then when you put the cursor into the main box where you write the message should be able to change colour, font etc.

***waves to David*** 'Numpty' that's such a brilliant word Jean - is that your Scottish ancestry showing?
