Win Live Mail, ho do I access basic functions?

by Jansetau Feb 4, 2011 9:31AM PST

Hi all.

I recently upgraded to Win 7 Ultimate and Win Live Mail, and this is where the problem lays.

How can I get back the FILE:EDIT:VIEW:TOOLS et. back to the top of the page? As part of the same problem, I also want to have access to the text facilities of, BOLD:UNDERLIUNED:ITALICS:BOLD UNDERLINE etc. functions.

I managed to find the latter when I click "New"(mail) and then the "Message" tab, but when the drop down tool bar appears all the functions that appear on the right side of this panel are grayed out and access is denied.

Very frustrating. Can anyone help please?

Regards

In Live Mail version 2011 the Menu bar has been replaced

with the menu ribbons so that it looks like MS Word etc.

The Font options are greyed out until your curser (invitation to type) is active in the text area of the new message.
