Outlook XP dialogs cut off

Some of the settings dialog boxes seem to be cut off to
where some buttons or input fields do not show
completely. I have a large (20.5") LCD set to the native
resolution of 1600x1200 so every box should be at full
size. I can not find an answer to this in the either the
knowledge base or the Outlook support center.
I am running Windows XP Pro SP1 with Office XP Pro.
 
I've seen that on low res - 800x600, but not on the higher res. Are you
using normal sized fonts or larger ones? that affects dialogs as much as
resolutions.

One specifically is the e-mail accounts dialog. I click
on the View or Change Existing ...The E-mail Accounts
dialog comes up and the Change, Add, Remove, etc. on the
right are cut of at about 3/4 of the buttons, the Deliver
new e-mail to the following address and a button to the
right of tha are just barely visible and the screen does
not resize. Nor does it have the risize lines down in the
right corner.
Also under e-mail accounts the view or change directories
or address books is sized in the same way and
consequently also has limited access to some of the
buttons .
Those two seem to be the only ones. I have noticed that
most or all of the seetings, advanced settings, and
options dialogs are not resizable. But every save the two
I detailed here seem to be the right size and all the
buttons, drop downs, etc. are accessible.
I have a feeling that somehow Office XP or Windows XP Pro
are corrupt just enough that this is happening.
Thanks for any help or advice you can offer.

I have not changed the font size. I did try changing the
font to Arial for the menus in the Windows Appearance tab
of the Dispaly Properties, but I don't think the font in
Outlook changed. I did read a article in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base that reffered to the default Tahona font
becoming corrupt and causing dialog problems, but I don't
experience this problem in any of the other apps on my PC.
Thanks for the replies.
