I assume with Preview Pane you actually mean AutoPreview? The Preview Pane
is what the Reading Pane used to be called in Outlook 2002/XP and previous
;-)

You might want to apply your changes to the default Messages template
instead. This ensures that all the folders are changed automatically.
You might want to start Outlook with the /cleanviews switch ones to get them
all in their default state again so making changes goes easier.

I've been using outlook 2007 for about 6 months and all has been ok until
now. My normal view is to have the reading pane turned off and the preview
pane turned on. however, now things changed all of a sudden. now when
ever I go to the inbox the reading pane is turned on and the preview pane
is turned off. So I go to the view menu and reset the view to what it
should be. if I click on any other folder such as sent items and back to
the inbox, its back to reading pane on and preview pane off. This is the
same behavior for all folders. any ideas how to resolve this?

Thanks.
