Windows 7: Missing Column In Outlook 2010 Home : Search Inbox (CTL-E)

The column that heads : Arrange By Date| Newest on top |is missing. I have the Search CTL+E on the right hand side of the home page. The search does not work. I have turned Search On in Control Panel etc. I have tried repair Office. No change.

Any help appreciated.

Do you have MS search installed?

If you mean Microsoft Security Essentials. Yes I do.

I hope I din't have Multiple Sclersios!!

No i meant Microsoft Search.

I don't think so. Is it built in with win 7?

Probably this link will be of some help: Sorting and Grouping - Outlook - Office.com

Thanks Koolkat,

I will look in the morning. I'll let you know the result. It was when I went to open an email and the "Outlook not responding" msg appeared. Then I closed and opened Outlook. That was the result. Missing column.

Alright. You may also try this: How to install the individual 2007 Office features or to repair the installed 2007 Office programs

Keep us posted.

I tried but no avail. I note that the article refers to 2007, but I don't think that is a problem at this time. I am ( or have convinced myself) that it will need an uninstall and a reinstall of Outlook to fix the problem. Normally one can repair a damaged item, but to repair just the look of part of the home page may not be possible.

I can and do use Outlook, so it is a "niggle" rather than a problem.

At this point in time I will leave it and when I get the desire, I will reinstall outlook.

Thank you for your time and help. Have a nice day

Sorry haven't been of much help but reinstalling sounds like a good idea. Make sure you keep a backup of your stuff before uninstalling.
