Hello Fred, I don't know why you would get a "not available" message for the reading pane in the layout group of the ribbon's view tab. If you are not able to use the reading pane choices in the layout pane, you can create a shortcut with the options you want to use and just use the shortcut to launch Outlook. The first steps shown below are for using the reading pane choices from the layout group. The second set of steps is for creating a shortcut and using it to launch Outlook with the specific parameters you want to use. In order to use reading pane choices in the layout group of the ribbon's view tab do the following: When focus is in a list of messages in a folder press Alt followed by V followed by P followed by N. You can then use up or down arrow keys to choose if the reading pane should be on the right, bottom or turned off. Press enter key on the "off" choice to have the reading pane not displayed on the screen. You could use Alt followed by V followed by P followed by N followed by O to achieve the same. You also get a choice for options but they really don't affect what you are wanting to do. The options are identical to those in the reading pane dialog box that you can access using the file menu options and launching the dialog box from the display options. If the above does not work then you can try to start Outlook at a command prompt and the switch that tells it to start with the reading pane turned off. You can use the Run dialog if you want to start Outlook one time with your configuration or you can create a shortcut and use it when you want to start Outlook with specific parameters. Browse to your Outlook.exe file. The default path for the 32-bit Outlook in Windows 7 32-bit is c:\program files\Microsoft office\office14\outlook.exe The path for 32-bit Outlook in Windows 7 64-bit is c:\program files (x86)\Microsoft office\office14\outlook.exe You can copy the appropriate path from the information above or browse to the location on your system. If you browse to the location on your system then use the application key on the Outlook.exe file name and use down arrow until you find the choice to copy as path. Press enter key. If you want to run the command one time that will open Outlook 2010 with the reading pane turned off then first use Windows key with R to launch the Run dialog box. Paste the path that you copied to the clipboard by using CTRL+V. The entire path should show in the edit box. There should be an opening quote at the beginning of the path and a closing quote at the end of the path. If you copied one of the above paths then you will need to add the opening and closing quotes. Press the end key and make sure you leave one space after the closing quote. Type in /nopreview and press enter key. (again, there should be a quote at the beginning of the path and one at the end of the path, followed by a space, followed by a forward slash, followed immediately with nopreview). There is no space between the words no and preview. If you run that one time and then later open Outlook the usual way then Outlook will open in its default configuration. If you want to create a shortcut to use to have Outlook open with no reading pane whenever you use the shortcut then you should create the shortcut on the desktop. Move focus to the desktop and make sure nothing is selected. If an icon is selected then use CTRL+spacebar to deselect it. Press the application key and use down arrow to the New submenu. In the submenu press enter key on the choice for new shortcut. You will get a prompt to "type the location of the item." Paste the path that you copied with the "copy as path" choice when you browsed to Outlook.exe. The quotes are not needed. Use the space after the .exe followed by the /nopreview switch. Tab to the Next button and press enter key. Name the shortcut. You might call it something like Outlook without reading pane. Tab to the Finish button and press enter key. You can then use that shortcut on the desktop to launch Outlook without the reading pane being displayed. If you can accomplish turning off the reading pane from the layout group of the view tab on the ribbon that will be easier. However, if you are not able to then you might try running Outlook with the /nopreview switch. Take care.
