Outlook 2002 -- No Subject Field

D

David

Hello, everyone.

I am running Windows XP Professional with the latest
service packs and security updates.

My problem is with a component of Microsoft Office XP
Professional, Outlook 2002/XP. (Please note that I have
the latest service packs and security updates installed
for Office.)

Yesterday evening, I opened Outlook to write a message and
I noticed that there is not "Subject:" field. (Earlier
yesterday, I DID have the "Subject:" field.)

The only unusual occurrence yesterday was two power
failures that were very brief, but I was using my PC at
the time. I know that I had Internet Explorer 6 open
during both power failures, but I do not recall if Outlook
2002 was open during either power outage (i.e., if the
power outage may have corrupted Outlook).

I let Windows run its disk check both times after
restarting the computer after the two power failures.

I have looked for an option to add the "Subject:" field
back to Outlook, but I can find none. (As a side note,
about a month ago, a "From:" field suddenly started
appearing in Outlook when I created a new message, and
that field still remains, despite the fact that I did not
add it; I would like to remove the "From:" field, as well
as restor the "Subject:" field.)

Please see the attached screen shot to see the lack of
the "Subject:" field and the addition of the "From:" field.

Does anyone have a suggestion? I have searched the
Microsoft Knowledgebase, but to no avail.) Can I repair
Outlook?

If I must remove and reinstalled Outlook, how can I back
up all of my e-mail messages?

Thank you very much, in advance, for your help!

Cordially,

David
