We seem to be stuck. We have Outlook 2007 - installed recently. Everything was working great -- until -- we don't know what happened, BUT when we compose a new mail message, the background is gridded and the font is yellow (on white so we cannot see it!). I have gone into Tools --> Options --> Mail Format --> Stationary & Fonts --> Font for new mail messages on both profiles and tried to force the font black (so black instead of automatic) and tried to reset the fonts by selecting +Body under fonts to no avail. We start a new email message and we have the grid and the yellow font. Replying and Forwarding messages font comes out black, however, it is not the font we tell it -- it's New Times Roman, instead of Arial that we selected -- tried resetting that +Body under font, but nothing changes. Please help! ~Diane
