>I have rejoined the list following a brief absence. I now find myself in a
>very challenging job with lots of responsibility. I am psyched up for it, but
>I am having a few problems adapting to some of the new tools I must use. For
>the most part, we use MS Office and its productivity tools.
>
>My email is read through MS Outlook, and this is the program offering me the
>greatest level of frustration. When I was using my current system, prior to
>reconfiguration, I was able to view my list of message in the Inbox, as well
>as a message contents panel below the list. The tool bar had two buttons next
>to the print button, on which displayed two panes (mailbox outline and
>message list) and one that displayed three panes (message contents below the
>llist). Now that Office has been reinstalled on my computer, I am unable to
>display three panes (or find the associated button).
>The message contents pane was a godsend, since it kept me from having to open
>each new message if I wanted to read beyond the two or three lines of
>"preview" that follow the Name and Subject IDs.
>
>Has anyone else had this problem (and been able to solve it)? Offline replies
>would probably be best, since it would otherwise clutter up the list for no
>good reason.
