Message Body Font in Outlook Suddenly Small

Yesterday my Outlook updated to a new version. The text of the message body is so small it is useless in the preview pane. The subject line font is huge while the message body font is tiny. What do I have to do to make the fonts the same size? I have tried accessibility text font changes that make it worse. I tried large, medium and small in outlook and it has no effect on the message body font. Preview pane image included. Thank you for your support. I have Windows 11.

Regards,

Tim

    okay I think I figured it out - at least on office 365 using a Macbook Air. I opened an email. Across the top is a bar with various commands. One of them is zoom. When I opened it, it was set for 67%. I reset it to 100% - problem solved. I think clicked the reset button and it also stayed at 100%. When I checked on other email they were also all at the normal size.

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you so much for this. It worked. As you said, simply double click on any email - change the zoom to 100% on that particular email and close it. Now when I write a new email or open any other they have gone back to normal and the tiny text has stopped both on incoming and outgoing messages!!!! So happyl
