Question

font size in outlook too small

Todd Phillips 0

How do I change my font size in my reading pane for outlook? I went to file, options, mail, stationary and fonts, and then from there changed each section to a larger font size but nothing happened.

I was not able to zoom at all. I had to go to the View tab, select "current view", then select "view settings", and select "other settings" from the window and change all fonts there. That solved the issue. Reminds me of long division. HAHAHA
