A Runtime error has occurred.

Line: 104

Error: Object expected.

The reason is that Microsoft's gurus (in their infinite wisdom) have designed the Office 2003 installation such that the Script debugging feature is turned ON when Office 2003 is installed (don't ask me why !) - so many folks with new PCs and/or those who buy Office 2003 may start seeing this problem all of a sudden !

1. "Disable script debugging" by CLICK-ing the check box.
2. DISABLE the "Display a notification about every script error" by UNCLICK-ing the check box.

Microsoft Outlook e-mail size problems

E-mail messages with attachments or HTML links bloat up

If e-mail messages sent in HTML format suddenly become gigantic and the size appears to be suspiciously large, go to TOOLS --> OPTIONS --> MAIL FORMAT --> INTERNET FORMAT --> and then UNCLICK the box which says "When an HTML message contains pictures located on the Internet, send a copy of the pictures instead of the reference to their location." By unclicking this box, the message only contains the link rather than attaching the entire included content.

Text is wrapped in Microsoft Outlook mail messages

If your mail messages appear untidy and garbled because the lines get wrapped at odd intervals because Outlook inserts hard-returns (carriage returns), the problem is the "Automatically wrap text" setting.

Go to TOOLS --> OPTIONS --> MAIL FORMAT --> INTERNET FORMAT --> and look for the "Plain text" options, and change the "Automatically wrap text at" setting to 90 or more, to avoid messages from having text wrapped.
