Outlook for MAC text display size

[etaleb]

Foks - increasing text display size only impacts the email you are reading and not the one you are writing. Of course, I can change the font size in the new mail or reply section, but that will appear too large to the receiver which I don't want. Any other way to impact this? I have already set large enough text in the MAC settings Display and all applications including Outlook are working fine except for when writing emails. Thanks

It's a pain to do every time, but you could just hit Command + to enlarge the text of the email you're reading.

That doesn't work when composing emails

How do you know?

By default don’t sizes are size 12. I can’t read the message unless it’s size 16. That’s awfully big to send anything to customers. Try it out and tell me what you think

@etaleb , in Outlook, pretend you’re going to start a new email. In the email editing window, go up to the menu bar and go to Format -> Zoom (bottom of dropdown). You can change viewing font size there without it affecting the actual font size sent to people.

... and it will remember the zoom setting for subsequent emails.

Guys - really appreciate this response - this is super helpful. I wasn't using the right keywords on a google search. This solves a big issue for me. Thanks again !
