Toolbar Buttons
in [Outlook Express]
|
From: Don on 25 Jun 2010 12:45 I am running Windows XP Professional/SP3, IE 8.0, and Outlook Express 6.0 on my laptop. My toolbar has the following problems when Outlook Express is running: 1. The row containing Create Mail/Reply/Reply All/ etc. is spread out not leaving enough room for all buttons. 2. On the right end of the row described above is the button File with >> leading to View/Tools/Messages/Help. This entire group of buttons belongs in a separate row above the Create Mail row, where it used to be; but I can't move it there. How do I get the File row where it belongs and how do I get the Create Mail row to where it is no longer spread out? Thank you! -- Don
From: Bruce Hagen on 25 Jun 2010 12:55 That is a well known bug that has been around almost as long as OE. It will never be fixed as OE has been out of production for four years now, and even before that, the dev team said they could not reproduce the problem in order to fix it. Either close and open OE, or push the toolbar up and then back down with the cursor. Smaller icons and removing any unneeded ones help a bit. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "Don" <Don(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:4F53D971-80BE-4370-99A2-5C7A407DEB86(a)microsoft.com... >I am running Windows XP Professional/SP3, IE 8.0, and Outlook Express 6.0 >on > my laptop.

From: Steve Cochran on 25 Jun 2010 16:15 So does removing the toolbar text labels. If one right clicks on the Toolbar and chooses Customize one can set both. steve "Bruce Hagen" <BRH(a)nospam.invalid> wrote in message news:i02n2h$6vc$1(a)news.eternal-september.org... > That is a well known bug that has been around almost as long as OE.

Bruce: Changing the size of the toolbar icons did not affect the spacing of the buttons; and all the buttons in the toolbar are frequently used so I don't want to remove them. Also tried dragging the File/View/Tools/etc. to the top to create a separate row of buttons (as it was before), and that didn't work. Stuck? -- Don "Bruce Hagen" wrote: > That is a well known bug that has been around almost as long as OE.
