SYMPTOMS

When you view Outlook Today in Microsoft Outlook 98, the color scheme is different than other Microsoft Windows programs or is not shown in your default Windows colors.

CAUSE

Because Outlook Today is created using Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and uses a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to link to its page, it displays the colors you chose as the default Internet colors in the Properties of Microsoft Internet Explorer.

RESOLUTION

Change the color scheme in Internet Explorer to Use Windows Colors.

NOTE: These changes will be reflected in both Microsoft Internet Explorer and Outlook Today.
