    try uninstalling everything (office related, of course), then reinstalling word, excel and outlook together.

      If you have got Word installed, any chance of you using its features to ensure that you use sentences and capital letters. I know CAPITAL LETTERS is SHOUTING, but for some of us, it's nice to see the personal pronoun with a capital letter and sentences that start with a capital (and end with a full stop). Thank you.

        While I agree with you, I think she accomplishes your requirements (except for personal pronouns) by having blank lines between the individual sentences. I know that's usually reserved for paragraphs.

          Did you happen to install Office 2010 Student / Teacher edition? If yes, Outlook is not part of that suite and needs a separate key. One of our guys here, bought the Student / Teacher of Office 2010 version, installed it and then tried to install Project 2010 using a company Action Pack key - wouldn't let him do it because "The retail license terms for Office Home and Student 2010 allow for installation on up to three home computers. Not intended for use in any commercial, nonprofit, or revenue generating business activities, or by any government organization". I suspect that Outlook is considered a business tool.

            Stop using the pirated one, and buy the damn thing... [ / joke ends] Looks like version conflict to me, try re-installing it (I mean first uninstall everything related to ms office.)

                      i wouldn't bother pirating any MS products as i can get them for cheap enough and i don't actually believe in pirating stuff anyways ... i use open source mostly this was the student version which i didn't realize until it was mentioned above :)
