Deafult text is white and I can't see it.

Outlook123
When I create a new email in OUtlook 2003, the default text is white and I

can't see anything when I type. How do I change this?

Change the font color under the Mail Format options tab.

Re:Deafult text is white and I can't see it.

Thanks for the response. I made the change to black text but when I open a

new email the text I type is still invisible and presumably white. At the

top it shows that the text is set to black. I have to manually change it to

black each time I start a new email. Any suggestions.

Are you using stationery or a template? Could be it has the background and

foreground colors screwed up (i.e., insufficient contrast between the two).

Re:Deafult text is white and I can't see it.

That fixed my problem. I was using a blank templete. I appreciate your help.
