I have the same problem, which is rather annoying as it doesn't seem to be
the most complicated function in Outllok 2003! Any help would be appreciated
- I have followed all other guidance but despite which text style and colour
I use, it always shows the font selection I have selected for Composing
rather than Replying and Forwarding. It works fine in Outlook 97 . . . . !

Thanks for bringing this up. I HATE when Outlook/Word changes the color of
what I type (or the style or anything). I just want to disable this "helpful"
automatic blue/black font switch. It NEVER does what I want. It screws up
terribly every time I switch in and out of italics, as well, reverting to a
really ugly Courier font. I want a text editor that only does what I TELL IT
TO. The editor needs to understand that I AM A GOD AS FAR AS IT (SOFTWARE) IS
CONCERNED. My word, like the famous letters of transit in Casablanca, is not
to be rescinded or even questioned. I want to turn this "helpful" feature
OFF. I am using Office 2007, and there is NO "Tools | Options . . . " menu.
Does anyone out there know how I do this in Office 2007?
Thanks

I want to clarify that I findally did find the Tools | Options menu in
Outlook 2007 that was spoken of in this thread. Problem is I was looking on
the Email Editor menu, which is confusingly massively different from the main
Outlook menu, even when Outlook is in email mode. Given that Outlook does so
many disparate things, that is not unreasonable of course, but it would be
NICE if the email editor menu bar looked a lot like a subset of the main
Outlook menu bar, which would avoid a lot of confusion around "which menu
should I look in to do this?"

In case anyone else searching for this 'feature' comes across this message, I
found the answer. If you are using MS Word as your editor, open MS Word (I'm
using 2003), select the Tools menu, then select Options. On the General tab
select the Email Options button. On the Personal Sationary tab check the box
for "Pick a new color when replying or forwarding" under the Replying or
forwarding messages header.
