I don’t know — beyond my expertise. But typically I’ve only seen white backgrounds in standard installations.

Thanks, but after the rule runs now I am seeing black text on a black background. ??? My defaults are black background with white text. Most people (here) use bright backgrounds with “auto” color. What’s going on?

Bruce — just right-click on the toolbar and choose “customize,” then you should be able to drag your macro onto the toolbar to execute it. In my experience, it’s always removed the background color etc., I haven’t found it necessary to do any further customization.

I'm a unix person forced to use outlook. After I type Alt-F11 I get Visual Basic, but I have no idea how to "map the macro ClearStationeryFormatting() onto a toolbar with a hotkey" What do I do next? I can't just paste the code. Can someone tell me click this, click that, paste, do this, do that I don't even see File->Exit in the Visual Basic window.

After removing the stationary, how do I force background color? Idiots here used everything from black to white, with a lot of pastels, and they change depending on the phase of the moon. Simply forcing font color doesn't work.

Seriously, it is unbelievable that Microsoft didn't include a function (built-in) that does this exact thing. You are a sanity saver.

Few things in life are as annoying as outlook stationary used in a professional setting.
