42354 2002-04-07 04:01:00 I run xp and would like to know how I can increase the font size on Hotmail and Outlook express as they are very small. Guest (0)
42355 2002-04-07 04:17:00 I am sure you can increase the size of fonts in a web page, cannot think off hand how but in Outlook Express, click the Tools tab on the toolbar, down to options, click the Compose Tab and change the font and size to suit yourself. That will increase the size for mail you create but not for mail you get from others. Hope that is what you want Guest (0)
42356 2002-04-07 04:24:00 If you mean the text size for internet explorer you go into View, Text Size and increase it from there. Guest (0)

42358 2002-04-07 08:10:00 How can I increase the text font size in the body of a message that I received in Outlook?

Not sure if outlook differs to much from express. Hope this helps




Answer:

To increase the font size of messages you receive in Outlook, follow these steps:

Select 'Options...' from the 'Tools' drop down menu.
Under the 'Mail Format' tab, click the 'Fonts...' button.
Click the 'Choose Font' button for the heading: 'When composing and reading plain text'.
Select the font you wish to use, and click 'OK'.
Click 'OK'.
This will alter the font for all plain text messages. If this method did not change the font in your message, the message was sent in non-plain text. To change the font for that message:

Highlight the body of the message from the message window (not from the preview window).
Right-click the selected text.
Select 'Font...'.
Choose your desired font and click the 'OK' button.

42359 2002-04-08 05:50:00 Thanks again Gordon Kame and Malcolm for your help though it didnt work on my hotmail account but ok on actrix , I finally managed to fix it through the help section.
Fix was 1 on the TOOLS menu in IE click INTERNET OPTIONS
2 On the GENERALtab,click ACCESSIBILITY.
3 Change your settings ie tick the box marked Ignore font sizes specified on web pages, When I did that the info you gave me fixed the problem,
thanks again C.G.
