default setting of zoom slider in Outlook 2010

[tenantrep]

Love the new Outlook, but for some reason my default reading pane zoom slider
setting is now at 170%. While I can change back to 100% to read message, each
new message reverts back to 170%. Where can I change that globally? Thanks.

I would LOVE to figure this one out too
It's either 170% or 210 %, and I set it and it keeps resetting!

You have to start a new mail message and changed the zoom in it to whatever zoom level you want to be the default (100% in my case). After this all the other folders will open at this zoom level

Hope this will help

I found a work around to the zoom for incoming messages. File -> Options -> Trust Center ->Trust Center Settings -> Email Security -> "read all standard mail in plain text" -> OK
Then Mail -> Stationary and Fonts -> click the last "font" (under "composing and reading plain text messages") Select the font size and style that you want.
