Omg - thank you SO MUCH - I really appreciate this info - it worked PERFECTLY!

The font size is way too small. I can temporarily increase the font size for each email I read or write. I can't find any setting or instructions online to permanently increase the font size.

2024-09-05T22:06:24+00:00 Thank you for pointing me towards this. I'm using the new Outlook, which gives you different menus, but I noticed that there is a zoom button across the top. I did what you said, left click but on the + button and it increased the front size in the reading pane. Many Thanks
