The buttons are not grayed out. They appear to be active but don't respond
when clicked. When you ask 'did you activate Outlook?' - I've been using
Outlook for a couple of weeks, no problem. Except when I went to create a
Signature - no luck. I'm a bit unsure of starting up in 'safe' mode. Afraid
it won't return to normal (wary of technology I guess). Other thoughts? And
Thanks!

Outlook 2007 uses a new email editor that is based on Word. There is no
longer a choice for an editor.

Are these button grayed out or are they active but do not respond when you
click on them?
Did you already activate your version of Outlook?
Does it work in Outlook Safe Mode?
Start- Run; outlook.exe /safe

When clicking Tools-Options-Mail Format, the"Signatures," "Stationery and
Fonts" and "Editor Options" buttons don't work. Nothing happens when I
click
them. Also, I don't see the "use Word to edit emails" option that I had
with
my old computer.

I am using Office 2007. Any help?
