Outlook 2007: How can I change the settings of the Reading Pane?
The reading pane allows you to view the messages without having to double-click and open the messages. By default the reading pane displays to the right of the screen but can be displayed on the bottom of the screen or turned off completely by going to the View Menu and selecting Reading Pane. You can also work with attachments, accept or decline meeting requests, and use voting buttons in the reading pane. In the example shown here, you can see that this message has been flagged for follow up and also categorized as Blue. This information is showing on the Info Bar. You can right-click on the Info Bar to see more information regarding the message including voting buttons (if used). By default, a message will be marked as read when you view it for 60 seconds in the Reading Pane. This can be changed by going to the Tools Menu and selecting Options, click on the Other tab, and click on Reading Pane.
