Change background color of Outlook inbox selected email item

[jaslake]

Hi

I'm color blind. The default background color of the Inbox Email that I select makes it a bit difficult to read. Can I modify this?

What email program are you using ? That would help

 

[jaslake]

Thanks for the response. I'm using Office 2007, Outlook 2007.

Do you mean Outlook, as Office is a suite not a program.

But being color blind, I doubt it would help.

Is there any particular reason you use Outlook ?

I don't believe that Microsoft would alow you to make changes as you have suggested. But, look in the control Panel under Ease Of Access Center. Hope this helps with your visual problem.

I'm not certain I understand the question...I use Outlook 2007. What other information do you require?

AddRAM posted links. Look into them..

AddRAM! With your links, maybe you should do what I do. Highlight and color the link. That'll differentiate from the rest of the text. And use this BB Code to accomplish that affect.

Put the code together.

I don`t use outlook, the links are not for me.

jaslake, I don`t use Outlook, I use my internet service providers email program, which is Verizon.

If you use Oulook then your email gets downloaded to that pc and you can`t look at it on any other PC.

With Verizon I can look at my mail on any PC anywhere in the world.

I recommend to people, never install an email program on your PC.

Use Gmail, Yahoo etc or any other free email program.

Outlook should only be used on a company owned PC where it`s mandated.

No.. If you purchased the Microsoft suite, you have the right to use Outlook as a standalone for what you will on your own system.

That simple is not true. My Outlook 2007 is set to download only a copy of the email to my PC. The email remains on the server, that I can access from anywhere using a tablet, smartphone, another computer, etc.

the only thing I can find is changing the color scheme choices are blue, silver or black but that's not what you are asking for. I do not see a way to change the selected email color

 

[AddRAM]

Other then mail, what would you possibly use it for, that you couldn`t do yourself ?

Contacts ?

Addresses ?

Those you can just create in word pad.

AddRam... I'm Right... And that's stands for all that's within the suite.

OK! Good input. But! AddRam's Application is wrong when it comes to the suite. Not starting anything.. Nice input... Try this..

I don`t get it, why are you addressing that statement to me ?

As stated, you can change the colors in office to blue, black or silver, but the background where you type is still white, but as also stated, don`t see how it helps the OP.

You can also change the font color, I thought that would help more then changing the background, but maybe if the words were say red and the background were say black he could then read it, but being color blind I don`t see how anything would help, I would think it would be one big blur, after my brothers stroke, that`s all he could see, couldn`t even see TV anymore, God rest his soul
