| | Rich text won't work... Hi, I've been having this problem for a year, and I keep trying to find an answer, and I just discovered this site and I hope someone can help me! I can change the color of the font and that's it. I cannot change the size or text in any email that I'm composing. I have rich text turned on, I've tried turning it off and on and I keep having the same problem. Has anyone had this happen? It's driving me nuts!!! Everything is Times New Roman size 12. Thanks for any suggestions! A I have rich text turned on, i've tried turning it off and on and I keep having the same problem. |
