FRUSTRATING FONT COLOR

I am using Outlook 2007 Beta 2 and Microsoft Word 2007 Beta 2 is my editor
for Outlook, in case that matters.

When I create an email the font color is yellow. And when I send someone an
email and they hit 'reply' to answer me the same thing occurs, the words they
type are in yellow also. Even if they have a signature, the test is turned
yellow. The email addressed are in black but the body of the email is in
yellow.

I am not using any type of stationery. And this only happens on my end when
I create a NEW message. If I reply to someone's email the text and color are
what I have specified in Outlook.

I have never had this to happen. I have done all that I know how to do--

1) Tools>Options>Mail Format> Stationery and Fonts

** NOTE: For reasons unknown to me, the choice: 'New Mail Messages' is
grayed out and cannot be selected or changed. However the text appearing in
the box is shown as black.

2) Tools>Options>Mail Format> Editor Options

3 Tools>Options>Other > Advanced Options
Under 'Appearance' you can choose the font, but not the color

Help me please.
 
What is your default theme?

Thanks for your reply.

My stationery default theme is: BLANK.

When I go to Tools>Options>Mail formet>Stationery and Fonts and select
Stationery then BLANK, nothing appears on the right to show me what fonts or
colors will be used.
 
Change it bak to (No Theme) which is located at the top.
