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.
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.
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.
You could also try this... Create a new user account. Shift all your stuff there. Take a back up of your emails and import it in the new user. All the settings in Outlook on a new user will be the default settings of outlook...
I followed the appwiz.cpl. Reinstalled, rebooted. To be brief, nothing has changed. So I will leave it as it is. At this time is appears the the cure is worse than the disease!
Again, I appreciated your help, but it is not necesary for me to remove Office or change user accts for such a small "glitch".
I am getting used to it. I don't have that much email to worry abt . So until I do a reformat and reinstall, I will leave it as is.
Koolkat,
Eureka!!
I got it back to normal!!! How? By chance I went in to "view" on the "top ribbon" and clicked on "Reading Pane" and the arrow head down. Reading Pane Right. You can see the little diagram. So I am back to normal, well as normal as I was(LOL). Unlike Archimedes, I wont run through the streets naked yelling Eureka!! As we say in Aus, Yer blood's worth bottling. PS The simplest solutions are the best!!!
