Sounds like you have the message format in plain text. &nbsp;Easily checked by starting to compose a new message and look at the title bar. &nbsp;It will say Untitled - Message (Plain Text)<br />
<br />
<br />
As for the send option not being there, did you install outlook in No-Email mode? &nbsp;You can check by clicking on Help | About MS Outlook and taking a look at the first couple of lines. (It would be the line right under the application/version line. &nbsp;If my hunch is right then you just need to configure Outlook to Internet Mail Only or Corporate/Workgroup mode. &nbsp;(This is done by selecting Tools &gt;&nbsp;Options | Second tab and clicking on the button labeled Reconfigure Mail Support.<br />

I am setting up Outlook 2000 for the first time. When I finish a new message I can't find a SEND button. There is no send button on any toolbars. Also when preparing a new message the 'font box' and the 'font size box' remain blank. What am I doing wrong? Since there is more than one queston I will give 200 points.<br />
