I would like to have a larger font for the reading pane. I have looked at
options, customize and view. Any other suggestions?

THanks

plain text uses the settings in tools, options, mail format, fonts, which is
also used for composing messages. HTML uses the default IE settings. you can
change it per message by clicking on the border around the message.

Try Options --> Mail Format --> Fonts. It lets you specify the font name and
size for plain text emails, both composing and reading. Unfortunately, for
HTML or rich text emails, you're at the mercy of whatever size the sender
decides to use. Hope that helps!

Im not sure, but I think what Carla is referring to is completely different.
I'm experiencing the same thing...or, at least, here's what i cant fix:

- Upgraded to 2007 from 2003, and want to use Tahoma as the application's
display font, across the board. The new Outlook is using Segoe(?) and while
it seems easy to edit "FONT" and "OTHER" settings to change it, its not
taking affect in certain places, namely, the Navigation Pane.

So far, i have to right-click within each Outlook folder Ive created to get
the email list to display in Tahoma. Is there a more universal setting? Maybe
across Office 2007?

Help :)
