As someone who seems knowledgeable about Outlook 2007, I wonder if you might take a shot at an issue I haven't been able to resolve. Trying to locate a specific person in my contacts list. I enter the name or part of a name and press enter. A list of entries appears, and all appears "normal" according to my sighted wife. The problem is that I cannot arrow through the list with WE(7.11). Your thoughts about what to tweak is appreciated. As all has a normal appearance to my wife, I don't think that adjusting the view settings is an issue, but that's just a guess. Thanks for your thoughts and time.

Can somebody please tell me how to widen the columns in the inbox for Outlook 2007? For example, the last item in my inbox had part of Lloyd Rasmussen's name left off so it was read as Lloyd Rasmuss. Part of the time wasn't read completely either so it was read as 4 2 rather than 4:02 a.m. My inbox is indeed maximized. Thank you. Mike m.
