Are you running exchange at the place of employment? Do they have this feature turned on? I believe it has to be enabled as an add-in through the exchange server. More importantly are you running Office/Outlook 2000/2003/2007/2010? \ Are you sure you expanded the Tools menu all the way? Try this: 1. On the Tools menu, click Options. 2. Click the Other tab, and then click Advanced Options. 3. Click Add-In Manager. 4. Select the Exchange Extensions commands check box. ---

Oh the paragraph marker. Look for the same symbol up near the top of your screen somewhere. When you find it click it once to turn it off. ---
