outlook: formatting buttons greyed out (bold, underline, italics, font, etc)
With microsoft outlook, you click on “new” email, and start composing a new email. You fill in the subject and email recipient.
But when you get to writing the body of the email, you notice that the text formatting buttons are mostly greyed out (eg bold, underline, italics, cut, copy, paste, font size, font color, paragraph justification, bullets and numbering, indenting).
The solution is actually quite straightforward:
In the main email window (the one with the inbox on it):
tools -> options -> mail format -> compose in this message format: HTML
Sorry I applied your fix, and the buttons are still greyed out. Anything else I can try? The format was already set to HTML anyway.
Did you find a solution to this?
No, I’ve not figured it out yet. You?
Still trying
From the new message screen access the 3rd tab “options” and change the texdt option to “html”
Thanks JT, that actually did work. I didn’t realise you have to type something before the buttons appear coloured again.
Thanks Dude.
Hello
I have read your posts and have checked all my setting and the match.
Yet all options are still greyed out.
