Tabarnach(e) is a Quebecker (euphemistic?) variant of tabernacle which in French besides meaning 'tabernacle' is also a swearword like English Zounds!

I was going to suggest downloading an alternate email client such as Mozilla Thunderbird in order to verify whether the problem was Outlook or Verizon, but if you're having trouble with Google Mail...

...it exists between Word and Outlook. Stop using Word as your email editor. To get advanced text enhancements make sure your Outlook /options/mailformat is chosen as "HTML" (turn off/uncheck "Use Word as your email editor"). This will allow bold/italics, etc... but it will stop *you from using two programs to edit one pc. of email... both of which have to access some of the same OS files simultaneously, a problem which manifests more often on larger files, file attachments and/or embedded pictures. Unfortunately you'll then have to run MS Spelling check seperately, but. Also, if you are using filesharing/networking/or a camera chip reader... never attach a file from any place other than (a copy on) your local drive... anything else are the ingredients in a recipe for disaster. ... plus what everyone else says, but. "...anything else are" = I can't wait to hear about that usage...

Thank you mus. Thus the difficulty owes to some kind of obscure interaction between Word and Outlook. But after several decades why is it that among the tens of millions millions of PC users that I am the only person in the entire world of the Internet suffering from this problem
I cannot entertain in my wildest fantasies the idea that if what you say is true Microsoft hasn't hear about it from a single customer
At this late date the concept of relinquishing Word editing when composing email is tantamount to abandoning my PC for a typewriter

Agreed. Which is why Myridon's suggestion is such a good, easy and efficient one. But if you're even having trouble with Google mail...

Anna: I finally accessed Gmail and was astounded to find six incoming messages. I'm not sure how to proceed tho I eventually hope to learn. But Gmail is 'way more complex and intricate than Outlook, and I wish I didn't have to resort to it as I just don't have that much time remaining
Every new glitch and puzzlement from the digital world steals hours of one's spare time
God bless Bill Gates
Thanks all for your patience

What on Earth does Bill Gates have to do with Google Mail? It's offered by a company increasingly seen as a competitor to Microsoft, and is very popular among users of operating systems that have nothing whatsoever to do with MS.

I could be wrong, but I've thought from the first that I detected a distinct odor of irony in this statement.

But after several decades why is it that among the tens of millions millions of PC users that I am the only person in the entire world of the Internet suffering from this problem... (a) You're not. Just because you can't find a complaint on the MS website doesn't mean the problem doesn't exsist; Do you have the last available Office patches? 2) How much RAM do you have... 256 will not be enough to handle the OS, WORD, Outlook, etc, etc, etc... (after Win 2k products) (Which/what/how much do you have?) &) I just reread your problem: Under Outlook - /tools/options/mail delivery - there is a box to check that says "Send mail immediately when connected"... (just a thought).  +) HTML should have everything you need (other than an automatic spell checker... you have to "push the button" 'check spelling' before you send...  ps) I'm continuing this PM unless someone else would like to follow the saga.
