Superscript stuck on in Outlook 2003

[Guest]

When I compose or reply to emails, the text is always superscript. I don't
know how this got turned on by default and can't figure out how to turn it
off. This happens in rich-text mode. For plain-text messages the entire
message goes to superscript and I can't turn it off.

Is there a registry bit or a field in an .ini that got flipped that's
causing this?

It's definitely superscript. If I select Format->Font the superscript box is
checked. After I uncheck it, everything’s good again (until I open a new
email.) Doing the superscript shortcut (CTL++) also clears it.

I’ve tried Arial and Courier New and they act the same.

BTW, this is not a new installation. It just suddenly happened.

Diane,

I finally got this fixed. Word is the default editor (for rich text) and
when I opened a new doc with word the default text had superscripts on. I
opened the normal.dot template and superscript was enabled so I turned it off
and saved the file. This didn't quite fix the problem though...
1) With some rich-text emails I could reply without turning superscripts
off and some I couldn't.
2) On plain-text docs when I did a reply the window displayed everything in
superscript with no way to disable it. As an experiment I emailed myself one
of these and the text appeared correctly. It was just the display when
replying that was superscript.
3) If I opened a new blank doc in Word the text was the default. If you
deleted the text you typed in, it was still okay. However if I selected and
deleted (or cut) all the text including the paragraph marker, the new font
was superscript.

The thing that fixed this was to open template.doc again and click the
"default" button.

ThankYou for your help. I would have probably wiped the disk and
reinstalled everything without it.
