Re: How do I see hidden text in incoming mail? Outlook 2007

[Sara M]

I followed Roady's instructions, but didn't see anything on the Mail Format
tab (in Outlook 2007). After poking around some, I found "Composing and
reading plain text messages" on the Personal Stationary tab, accessed by
using the Stationary and Fonts button on the Mail Format tab. I was able to
change the font color from pale yellow to black.

This solution worked for me:

Open Outlook
Create a new blank Email
click the Office button
go to the right corner and click on Editor options
go to Display and there you can enable hidden text.
Close the Email.


It might also be useful to enable this on the same way in WORD 2007.
