Outlook 2003/Word Font Color

[phlyx]

I am using Outlook 2003 here at work and Word as my editor. In Outlook I have both composing and replying/forwarding text set to Arial 10pt and a medium blue color. I had originally set the font color in both to a very dark blue but decided to change it. If I compose a new email the font color is the lighter blue. If I send that same email to myself and then reply to it, the text in the reply comes in the old very dark blue.

I cannot find where it's grabbing this old color setting from as nothing I can find in Outlook or Word is referring to that color and replying/forwarding text is set to the correct medium blue color.

Any help??????

Another issue along the same lines, if I receive an HTML formatted email and it's got text in some font, and I delete the bottom part of the message but leave a paragraph say in Arial 10pt blue font (or some other font/color), the paragraph I kept changes to Times New Roman 12pt black. If I select the bottom part of the email message and back up ONE character (space) from the end of the mesage and delete, the remaining paragraph retains the correct font and color. Can the default be changed away from Times New Roman 12pt black (even though I can't even find where it's called out)???

Any and all help is greatly appreciated,
Scott

It is the default color, if you set up in options > mail setup then create a signature using word that will work fine, but for the actual bod of the the font color just setup the color in options and mail setup if that doesn't work you will need to reinstall
