I am using Outlook 2000, Word 2000, (99.06926 SP-3), is
set as my email editor. When I 'click' New >Mail Message,
the Word program opens. As I enter the text in the message
window the only characters that appear are wavy lines,
instead of legible characters.

In an effort to correct the problem myself, I have run the
Help > Detect and Repair program, and the System File
Checker. I also visited the Office Support Center >
Downloads and Upgrades.

Can you give me any suggestions how to configure these
programs, so that I can see the text that I am entering,
instead of the wavy lines?

Thank you for your time and assistance.

What language is Office and what is your message encoding set for?

I am using Office Professional 2000, English Language
Edition. If Message Encoding is the same
Outlook>Tools>Options>Mail Format, it is it set at HTML.

I would appreciate any suggestions that you can give me.

Thank you for your time.
