Microsoft Outlook email - Messages too large for window

I am not sure I understand the connotation of editor for Outlook other
than Outlook itself. I can use any text editor on ascii text. Are you
saying that I could set Word to basically integrate with Outlook so
that when I download messages, Word opens automatically to
display...and edit...the messages? Or are you saying that word has an
icon that allows outlook messages to be opened and send directly from
Word?

Anyway, the issue is that of lack of wrapping a line of text at the
window boundary. It just disappears at the right window boundary.
Can't remember if a horizontal scroll bar shows up to let her move the
window to the right to read the message. I have never seen such a
horizontal scroll bar in Outlook...the messages on my Ourlook always
wrap no matter what the width of the message window. I would have to
ask her more detailed questions. I guess the quick questions is, is
there a wrapping switch that needs to be set? I am reluctant to try
and get her to do a repair but that may fix things. I just don't want
to talk her through that.

BTW, Outlook can use 2 editors, Outlook and Word.

After furious head scratching, asked:

| The lines of text are too long for the width of the message window

| of the display. Never did this before but it is now. My copy of
| Outlook just wraps to fill the window, her's does not.
|
| Is this better info??
