SYMPTOMS
When you perform a search in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, the search returns no e-mail messages that contain the search criteria.
CAUSE
This issue occurs if the following conditions are true:
- You upgraded to Windows Vista from Microsoft Windows XP.
- Then, you upgraded to a 2007 Microsoft Office suite from an earlier version of Microsoft Office.
- Outlook 2007 is configured to use the Rich Text Format (RTF) file type for e-mail messages. Alternatively, you received many RTF e-mail messages.
When these conditions are true, the RTF file type is no longer registered in Windows Vista. This behavior prevents Outlook 2007 from searching in any RTF e-mail message.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
- Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
- In the view pane, click Classic View.
- Double-click Indexing Options.
- In the Indexing Options dialog box, click Advanced.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click Continue. - On the File Types tab, locate rtf in the Extensions list.
- If the Filter Description for rtf is either Plain Text filter or Null filter, the RTF filter must be registered. To do this, follow these steps:
- Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click Continue. - Type regsvr32 rtffilt.dll, and then press ENTER.
- When you receive the following message, click OK:
- Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
