How to change default zoom in outlook 365 permenently

Question

_{Saturday, September 27, 2014 9:46 PM}

I use the preview/reading pane in outlook 365 and I can see the slider bar at the bottom where I can adjust the zoom. Problem is I have to enlarge it each time for every email I want to read. How can set this to something other than 100% and make it stick?

Also, sometimes I need to fully open an email an I have the same problem - text is too small. And this time no slider bar at the bottom. SoO I have to go up to and manually adjust the zoom that way. This is so frustrating and a big problem for me as I have bad eyes. Can someone please tell me how to change the zoom permanently?

Hi,

Changing the zoom setting is not persistent for reading messages. To make the zoom level persistent, you need to use an add-in or a macro. See:
