I am trying to get the fonts in the Outlook toolbar to be a little easier to
read. I have been able to acomplish this in other apps using Personalization
-> Advanced options -> Appearance settings but Office 2007 didn't respond. I
changed the Office color scheme to black and now Word, Excel and PowerPoint
are much better but not Outlook. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Change the DPI settings in Windows instead.

I had tried that but it didn't help. I may have misled you on the toolbar. I
am referring to the toolbar in Outlook's main window, not in the 'compose'
window. All the other apps responded to my tweaking but the Outlook toolbar
resists changes. The font look a little blurry - almost like there is a
shadow of another font color - and that's why I'm trying to fix it.

I seem to have accidentally fixed the font probelm. I decided to do a factory
reset of the monitor and everything cleared up.
