Outlook's Blank Stationary option easily confused with <none>

G

GDB

In Tools>Options>Mail Format Tab>Stationary and Fonts I browsed the various
stationary options, but decided I wanted a blank page instead, so I chose
blank. The default font color is a light brown/yellow (hard to see and tell
color because it is very faint) I thought the page was blank because I could
not see the words of the example on my laptop screen. Thinking I was using a
blank page I later opened a new email message that uses Word 2003 as my
editor. I could not figure out why I could not see the words I typed in the
body or my automatic signature. Only after changing the font color in the
window could I see what I was doing. I got very annoyed and thought it was a
bug, until I used the Word help feature to figure out I was actually using a
stationary called "Blank" that had a very faint font color and no background
picture. So, my suggestion is that the stationary option more clearly explain
that "Blank" is still a stationary and the font color should be a darker
color more easily seen.
