Email Text Size Question Please

[Bob Newman]

I know that when reading mail I can enlarge the font size through the VIEW
menu. Is there anyway to do this while in the initial view (not sure of the
appropriate name for it)? The view that lists email messages unopened by
subject line. I would like to set my resolution a little higher but my eyes
are not the greatest. I can compensate for the smaller text while reading
the mail but it is very difficult to read the list of email messages.

Close. I went to View | Current View | Customize Current View | Other
Settings | Rows and that seems to have done it.

Bob,
Also, if you use a mouse with a wheel on it, there's a handy Windows
truck to control text size when you are in the "messages" view (the one that
has the headers on top and the message text below). Just click anywhere
within the text, hold down your Ctrl key and turn your mouse wheel. As you
move the wheel the text enlarges. This works in most Office applications
like Word and Excel and many others like image manipulation programs.

Hi! Jor
Thankyou very much. I have this font size problem for more than a year. I cannot find the solution in the Outlook 2003 Manual. You save me from eye strain caused by these small fonts. Thanks!
